Horeb

Mamaroneck, NY

The broken and scattered rocks symbolize the aftermath of the Rock in Horeb when Moses struck it as instructed. The blues and purple represent the outflowing of water as promised when the rock in Horeb was split. The blue color represents flowing water and our individual and unique introspective and spiritual journeys through life as well as our desire to soak up insight and knowledge while the rocks represent much needed strength and stability to address the many challenges and adversities in life as we thirst for peace and justice amidst the violence and injustice in our world. The smiling face represents the joy attained when our great thirst is relieved through acts of love, deeds of compassion, moments of peace and the attainment of greater understanding through learning and experience.

Superbe résumé avec une superbe définition…Le bâton de Moïse est un symbole religieux juif, chrétien et musulman. Faire jaillir de l'eau du rocher d'Horeb est cité dans les 03 religions monothéistes ."Tu frapperas le rocher, il en sortira de l'eau, et le peuple boira". Remarquable préambule pour cette superbe composition spirituelle,de paix et de justice. Je me réfère au visage souriant porteur d'espoir,d'amour et d'unicité...!

Well said Malik! Exactly why I included scripture in the QR Code from the Torah, Bible and Qu'ran! If only people could get over their obstacles and realize we are all brothers and sisters regardless of our religion or lack thereof.

I agree with Malik's unifying and benevolent words, especially today when clashes are once again dramatically pitting faith-driven peoples in the Middle East against each other.

Your words and your composition are full of wisdom and richly symbolic, William.
I praise your optimism and your voluntarism, when my chronic disappointments tend to see in these broken rocks a reflection of the crumbling, ineluctable erosion of the human cultural edifice.....
But I follow your faith in love and in its redeeming and salutary virtue.

Eric, despite the fact we seem to destroy everything we touch including our beautiful planet, I always think there is hope since it remains a possibility even if it is distant.

Until my last breath I shall keep my faith, William, whose source may be different from yours, but which joins it. Only our roads seem to be disjointed.
I converge with your way, and that of those who gather instead of separating. A vision that is as much political as it is humanistic. Which I find hard to leave in the hands of those in power, however humanistic Biden - and others - want to appear these days...

Eric, people should feel free to hold onto their beliefs whatever they may be without others trying to force them to change. The roads may be disjointed but there will be convergence somewhere along the way. Thus I respect your choice as well as that of others even if it diverges from mine.

These are the paths of tolerance of which you are the preacher; and which I also try to follow, within the limits of what is acceptable, that is to say of humanity - man lacks it sometimes, doesn't he?...

What profound work.
The colors give an aura of purity, tranquility (inner peace) and spirituality
- tranquility despite water being mostly in motion and yet symbolizing so much more.
A truly remarkable artistic work, William!
