Beauty 2011

    In hard times, beauty can seem
    frivolous- but take it away, and all
    you're left with-is hard times.



    To drink in this beauty is to revive the
    spirit.



                   I hear other voices.
                   I can see other rooms.

               Like a flame in the night

    A radiant lily of the field, that 
    neither toils nor spins. 


    And the voices in my head were 
    drowned by a sea of color.


                             White Light



                             Black Light


    This lily is named Dizzy Lizzy.
    And Lizzy also neither toils nor
    spins.



    A bouquet of sunflowers and
    dahlia with a glimpse of another 
    dimension. 


    The flame of life burns brightly in
     the dark.


  I opened the door to my prop room 
  and this is what I saw.

                    Beautiful natural forms.


       A bouquet of roses, dahlias and 
                  chrysanthemums.


          On a clear day you can see forever.


          This rose is called Princess Diana.

    A bouquet of dahlias 
    and chrysanthemums.



   There in the dark, I saw great beauty.

    And the flowers arranged themselves.

    The garden is visited by other
    creatures.

                 And pretty maids all in a row.

    Dahlias dressed in the colors of
                     Royalty.
