Let Me Not Wander III

nobody@flickr.com (Sophie Shapiro) — Thu, 16 May 2013 22:27:43 -0700

When through the old oak forest I am gone,
Let me not wander in a barren dream,
But when I am consumed in the fire,
Give me new Phoenix wings to fly at my desire.

Words by John Keats

Inspired and dedicated to Jacob Epstein

Rama, the Lord of heavens
Blessed is thy name

Victory to you Ram
The husband of Sita
Oh so lovable, joyous
It is to worship thee...

Some of us call you as Shiva
and some others as Allah
but we beg you Lord
that you bless us all.......

Song of Rama was one of Gandhi's favourite poems and I end this with one of his quotes.....

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall.. think of it, always.......

Gandhi's Favourite Song

Gandhi was a Spiritual leader and activist, who gained a following because of his ideas on peace. I admire him greatly and dedicate this painting to him.

On October, 31st 2008 I made a decision to dedicate a painting to every person and animal that died in the sinking of RMS Titanic April, 15th 1912. This resulted in a great deal of research and becoming acquainted with many interesting people, who have supported my endeavours. I then realised that people had died during the building of this magnificent ship and decided to add them to my list. In total I painted 1,600 paintings. On March 4th 2011, I completed this task. I share some of the paintings with you and will be uploading works from this collection to mark the 100th Anniversary of Titanic’s sinking which falls on April 15th 2012.

through sames of am through haves of give,
singing each morning out of each night
my father moved through depths of height

The Revelation to Himself

The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!
And, by the incantation of this verse,
Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!

A Boy I Once Knew

While yet a boy I sought for ghosts, and sped
Through many a listening chamber, cave and ruin,
And starlight wood, with fearful foots pursuing
Hopes of high talks with the departed dead.

"I pray every single second of my life; not on my knees, but with my work. My prayer is to lift woman to equality with man. Work and worship are one with me. I can not imagine a God of the universe made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him "great."

......when I awake in the middle of the night, since I knew not where I was, I did not even know at first who I was; I only had in the first simplicity the feeling of existing as it must quiver in an animal.....I spent one second above the centuries of civilization, and the confused glimpse of the gas lamps, then of the shirts with turned-down collars, recomposed, little by little, the original lines of my self.

Dreamtime is claimed to be a formative or creative period, which existed at the beginning of things. Mythic beings shaped the land and brought forth the various species. The mythic beings no longer exist, but they did not die. They were transformed and became a part of ourselves.
