ALLURE
From ancient Greek literature and early Christian art, to contemporary spiritual expression, Dolphins have symbolized guidance, healing, peace, joy and protection…forces that help define who we are. I’m an artist. But how did that happen?
How do I describe the source of my art? Mentor, caretaker, Dolphin-in-Chief? All I know is I’m free to express myself. When overwhelmed by life pressures, a spiritual force taps my heart and guides me to soothing, secluded waters...a private spa where I can rest and relax A place my inner-dolphin reminds me I’m loved by the very source of love. I have confidence that even when I mess up, even when I’m skidding out of control, I won’t be afraid...because I’m protected from life’s turbulent waters. What relief. What peace. What joy. Critics and detractors scratch their heads when they see the beauty that surrounds me. Gifts that equip and nurture me to love and forgive, just as I am loved and forgiven. Looking back, and looking forward, I realize I have only known, and will only know love. My God you overwhelm me. (V Rae Psalm 23 Paraphrase)
