ILLUSION OF COMPLEXITY

Tree of Life
You grow so large
A maze of complexity
Your core as still as
The moment you first breathed.

Tree of Life
You stand in this world
Fully fed from the other.

Tree of Life
In your stillness
In your beauty
I hear my name
And know that I too am Home.

INSPIRATION

This piece was born from a meditation on my incessant temptation to feel overwhelmed by the complexities often penetrating my life. It is a reminder that it is really "I" that complicates my life in amazingly creative ways. My (our) purpose is really a most simple one. It is indeed an "illusion" that our beings and our lives are vastly complex. We are actually as clear and simple, always, as the first moment we breathed - when we take time to connect to our Divine, Creator, God/Goddess, Light or Higher Power. "Illusion of Complexity" is a visual invitation to remain still enough to hear that Voice that simplifies, purifies, and holds us in our true Home. The Voice that sifts through all the mazes of complexity and awakens in us a simple, clear "knowing" that we are always much larger than the many distractions we have created.
