It is very dangerous to go into eternity with possibilities which one has oneself prevented from becoming realities. A possibility is a hint from God. One must follow it. In every man there is latent the highest possibility, one must follow it. If God does not wish it then let him prevent it, but one must not hinder oneself. Trusting to God I have dared, but I was not successful; in that is to be found peace, calm and confidence in God. I have not dared: that is a woeful thought, a torment in eternity.
–Søren Kierkegaard

There is nothing I can add, except to point out that the image at the top is another new painting, a smaller 9″ by 12″ canvas called Time to Reflect, that is part of my Native Voice exhibit which opens on June 5 at the Principle Gallery.
Reblogged this on rennydiokno.com.
It may be lack of attention on my part, but I noticed vertical brushstrokes in the sky in this piece, and wondered about them — they seem a little different, and quite effective.
The Kierkegaard quotation is going to be taped at the bottom of my monitor, where I can read it every day. I got a little nudge toward querying a particular magazine with an article I have in mind. The only thing standing between me and actually doing it is — me. It’s time for that to end.
How often we get in our own way…
