             Revelation    As yet unwritten

             

Hence the Scientist, trained to unearth and explain, relies on the Artist to shed light on my world. Experience after experience has made its way to the canvas, at last to rest within the multidimensional equilibrium of an image. And lifting onto my breath, the longed for song of the unknown, has been given its voice. There it will forever soar, riding the unchained melody of the increasingly resonant knowns.

Now You've got me beaten God, I humbly consent to remain here in Your mystery. Show me what I am not able to prove and I'll be content but to clothe it....in coats of paint.
