Joy of Joys

I have posted this art before, I'm posting it again!

because of the absolute 

JOY 

it brings me 

whenever I look at it!

Yes it was digitally composed and yes, 

because of the abundance of digital images

some would not consider it art or give it a second glance.

But this is one of my all-time favourite creations,

 here is why I love it ~ 

I was at one, totally absorbed in the creation!

The intuitive feeling that the original image (a photo) would

 become something more, something other,

a layer of different meaning, 

I didn't know what that meaning was

at the time but trusted that it would reveal itself to me, 

and so it did after my random manipulations!

Looking down at my creation here is what I saw

~

I was one of the two birds, I had flown to a faraway 

place now hovering over a sun-drenched coastline,

the sun reflecting beams of light into the air,

the other bird was a friend, a native, 

who had risen to greet me.

Both of us are elated to share 

the greeting and were viewing the wonderful land 

and the promise of beautiful things to come.

The bird represents my online friends,

the coastline with sunbeams rising represents

the beautiful places I visit there virtually with my friends.

More than that it represents the dream I have 

of visiting face to face one day.

So this image represents my dream,

 it came up from my deepest Self,

 that is why I love it.
