Artist's Statement:
Worlds within worlds,
Recognition that each reality is born of the need
To learn anew the power of Love.
A school for the heart,
Containing all our hopes and fears,
Dreams and disappointments,
Joy and despair.
Realities clung to out of our fear to accept
That love is a flame,
Consuming all cause and effect
In a conflagration of miraculous Unity
All our needs for singular identity,
Ambition, fear, and doubt are consumed
In the beating of the open heart.
Here is eternity, where loss is gain,
And all is beauty!
Ann Nunley, 1998
