This piece reflects the fact instant gratification isn't always the case for every effort we put into something. At times it takes way longer than we expect, but it's alright to wait, to nuture and let our deeds grow to bear us rewards.

The day you plant a seed is not the day you eat its fruit.

Shouting  
In places where people try to force them  
Not to hear

Quiet  
In places where people try to force them  
Not to listen

**** them  
Set them free  
Watch them fly wild

They are indigo, X, and Y  
They are naturally Tech savvy and more intune with all that is natural. - Christopher F Brown

In Tune

You will be walking some night  
In the comfortable dark of your yard  
And suddenly a great light will shine  
Round about you, and behind you  
Will be a wall you never saw before.  
It will be clear to you suddenly  
That you were about to escape,  
And that you are guilty: you misread  
The complex instructions, you are not  
A member, you lost your card  
Or never had one. And you will know  
That they have been there all along,  
Their eyes on your letters and books,  
Their hands in your pockets,  
Their ears wired to your bed.  
Though you have done nothing shameful,  
They will want you to be ashamed.  
They will want you to kneel and weep  
And say you should have been like them.  
And once you say you are ashamed,  
Reading the page they hold out to you,  
Then such light as you have made  
In your history will leave you.  
They will no longer need to pursue you.  
You will pursue them, begging forgiveness.  
They will not forgive you.  
There is no power against them.  
It is only candor that is aloof from them,  
Only an inward clarity, unashamed,  
That they cannot reach. Be ready.  
When their light has picked you out  
And their questions are asked, say to them:  
“I am not ashamed.” A sure horizon  
Will come around you. The heron will begin  
His evening flight from the hilltop. - Wendell Berry

Do not be Ashamed

To the Forager on the path you walk alone, to the day you may return  
To the turning point, to the light epiphany  
To the sight that caught the flame  
To the 'no look back'  
To the 'hand let go of hand'  
I believe in you  
To all the dreams you may not know, they will be there tomorrow  
And I will love you all the way. - Tom Rosenthal's 'The Forager'

This piece depicts self encouragement and love to forge on regardless of whatever hold back we may be facing. Every element in the composition depicts a pivotal figure in bringing these hopes and dreams to life. The bees likened to loving people we meet on whom we rely on for guidiance and support at a point in time or another. The orange tree with oranges likened to our hopes and aspirations and horse represents whatever drive and motivation, skill or passion we have.

The Forager says its all possible, to dream and to make come alive.

The Forager

The clay who lost the potter 
must be both potter and clay. 
No true alchemy is better, to be the man that you may.

Overwhelmed

Through the Ages is a series that explores various stages of psychological mind-falls and moments of utopia that we go through over time as me as we grow older. The series is of deep emotions and each piece has been created with much love and attention to capture the viewer's attention and communicate a message as perceived by the viewer of the artworks.
