Description

Fire at the Rim- in the current news as forest fires burn closer to Yosemite National Park. I painted this not because its pretty. I recognize its danger.
We may feel we live on a peaceful planet. These natural events have been part of the earths evolution for millions of years.

POEM:

Earth as Serenity

Images pour in
Violent shaking of our serene earth.
Waves and walls of water moving and removing buildings,
ships and trains.
Waves displacing life with water.

A false sense of serenity as we sit on our warm beach,
gently lapped by waves of water and sun.

It has always been.
Life evolved in spite of sitting on an active,moving planet.

Serenity sitting on powerful volcanoes,tornadoes, the effects of our earth and sun.

In search of serentiy on a cracking,shaking, moving planet.
...on an earth moved by wind and water.

Is our vision of "Earth as Serenity" only a temporary
delusion?

Shalom.
