You'll have to explain, as I wasn't aware of this "contest". However, I am pleased to be part of it...Grey about fell out of her proverbial chair, that I do know...
Tao and Flow were there in spirit....details to follow.
The photo doesn't do the picture justice from being there....
This painting was made by Tao in memory of Flowperson. Flow's avatar was a sunfish...and then that sunfish was modified by our avatar king Alex...
After we found that Flow had made his transition Tao made this painting...of looking at a sunfish from its realm, undewater with a reflection of the top, but the earth and stars below...I don't know what all it meant to him...as above so below...oneness...whatever...I do know contemplating it while having it on my wall was exceedingly wonderful. The memories of past discussions, and thoughts that occurred were thoroughly soothing and meditative.
I 'won' the painting through a poetry contest that was instituted by Tao, that a number of us participated in. When I received it I knew then I could not hold on to it, that it was not mine to keep forever, that it needed to be shared with others that cared.
This event, this wedding, was a divine opportunity to pass it on to another contestant, another fellow traveler at interfaith.org...two of them as a matter of fact!
Grey figured out what it was as she opened it and saw the back...it was precious when she finished opening it and turned it around...it validated the fact that it has gone into the right hands....for now...
I was honored to receive it, feel blessed to have virtually known both tao and flow...and to have been at the nuptials of grey and q...to have met Juan and Dream...and to be able to pass the memory on.
Thanx Brian!!
