Through an Artist’s Eyes: In the Secret Place

There is a place I sometimes go to in my mind during meditation.   There are times I will find an actual physical place that takes me there instantly.  The Holy Family Shrine near Gretna Nebraska is one of those places.  Situated on a hilltop there is a magnificent view.  I remember sitting in awe during Taize worship there at sunset, watching the sky catch on fire while singing beautiful scriptures and prayers.  The Shrine is also the inspiration for In the Secret Place.  At the actual Shrine the water flows to the Chapel while in my art piece it flows out of it.  The white pieces in the border are printed with scriptures related to stillness and meeting with God.
