"Icons speak icon language!"

Riff Raff

What religious and secular concepts have evolved in our thinking as they have been attached to particular icons and images over the centuries?.......symbols that carry messages and meanings that are somehow entrenched in our thinking!

GOD IN A BOX

THE CHURCH

Neat and tidy - a perfect form.....mostly compliant with the norm……

Balanced, even, proportionately true.....but dangerously based on a point of view!

Stepping outside of this matrix mold, ……it often feels unsafe and cold.......

It’s tempting to question, deride -even scorn, the ways I’ve been thinking since I was born!

That foundation was laid without my consent.....fixed and sealed - like firm cement!

As I move outside of this “Godly” box, I’m having to change all my codes and locks!

God, you are not what I assume, what I surmise, suppose, presume.........

You continue to prove to be so much more than I’ve ever imagined or considered before!

Above, beyond, but within my reach, you’re more than human words can teach........

You’re more than script can ever convey - more than nature can ever portray.

Help me create a living space that doesn’t resemble a hiding place……

A unique structure of rich design........a framework that truly reflects the Divine.
