“Cherchez la femme” - my newest self-portrait collection - reads like a mystery novel comprised of six chapters. The interpretation lies in the eyes/mind/heart/soul of the beholder.

the hero’s journey/adventure quest redefined…

initiation/finding

Life-Death-Life
Cycle after cycle
The seeker
Follows Truth/Love
Open, trusting, forward moving
Shiny objects/illusions
Distractions/disguises
The simple obscured
The false worshiped
Pierce forth
With your sword
Annihilate the old
Courage to discern
Perseverance to act
Knowing to see without seeing Brave
Bold
Blissful
Boundless Being
New horizons expand
Uncharted, your true land.
