| "Buffalo Blues" painting by Carol Dickie |
ACIM Workbook Lesson #129
"Beyond this world there is a world I want."
A dear friend of mine is an artist who describes her painting style as abstract naturalism. When you look at her paintings, they are clearly recognizable as trees and barns and other ordinary sights, yet they are other-worldly in her perception and interpretation of light and shadow and color. She is having a major art show at a museum in a neighboring city. When viewing 30+ paintings at one time, I was transported to Carol's world. The show was entitled, "An Artist's Journey" and began with a painting she did as a small child and ended with a series of paintings she calls "Fishing With My Father". In walking through the rooms, reading Carol's descriptions of her journey, I was transported to another world. I am reminded once again that we need not leave this world to see a world full of harmony and beauty and peace. It's all in how we look at it!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“How true it is that whatever is learned through material sense must be lost because such so-called knowledge is reversed by the spiritual facts of being in Science. That which material sense calls intangible, is found to be substance. What to material sense seems substance, becomes nothingness, as the sense-dream vanishes and reality appears."
