FIELDS OF ETERNITY
photo and digital-collage

(Poem on Card by charlie elkind)
FIELDS OF ETERNITY
I am no-where
I am no-one, but one
I seek something which cannot be touched,
cannot be held
cannot be seen.
It's always there
just out of reach,
just out of hearing
waiting for us all
to join, to rejoice
in a field of eternity.

BEAUTY
collage and art design

(Text on Card)
Beauty of the highest order
arises out of depths of realization,
out of Life itself,
it springs from a deep source within,
which bears the stamp of truth.
quote adapted from Sri Ram by me
