The awakening of one and her Lover
in a series of subtly articulated scenes.
The two meet in the emerald pastures;
In faith the end justifies the means.
An ideal landscape of fertility, abundance and Grace---a kind of Eden---where they discover the pleasures of love in the place. The segue from innocence to experience
is fraught with consequence.
Contrary to the Song of Solomon,
Which looks at the same border-crossing and sees only the joy of discovery.
Lovers lost lucid within the Song;
in flesh, Mind, and in Spirit.
It's echo from a time when Art was thought to be the very heart of religion.
In those days, the earth was believed to be the visible body of the Goddess; the most natural thing in the world.
Clothed in a dress of burnt sienna which contrasted with her golden hair.
Longing to Cross the border to identify with the Source of Life.
Imagine...a garden of earthly delight. Luxor pleasure transcending the chilled night--lost within the Song.
"Let my lover come into his garden
and taste its delicious fruits."
- Song of Solomon 4:16
