when the WEAKNESS OF MAN manifests itself as darkness rises and reaches out to possess, control and distort the Light, a seen/unseen battle ensues as the Creator of the world and ALL that is shines Light to confirm eternal Presence and flow of Life by the Source of ALL
I can choose to REST in These Truths . . . • the Light, the confirmation of Presence – the Sun and the Moon never cease to shine even when I cannot see them – • I choose HOPE in the Power of the Presence . . .
a work in progress . . . with many traumas of varying intensities and life experiences revealing a Power beyond explanation, I am more open and less defined than in years past - raised in a fundamentalist Judeo-Christian home, I spent my young adult years searching for “truth” in many places and “unlearning” much of what I “knew” and that has drawn me to explore many other paths and gain from the journeys of others.
My childhood was spent living in many places in the United States due to my family's music or ministry—The Hicks Family, made up of Olan and Barbara Hicks, my younger brothers, Clint and Chuck and me, sang in different combos (put out an album) - we do so no longer professionally . . . but, until my parents’ passing, a visit to a family gathering in Searcy would bring you to hear some harmonizing and foot-tapping sounds!
Music still speaks to my heart. Photography and graphic design are primary aspects of the path God has me walking - new lessons come often as I observe and ponder the world around me and learn from creation—so exciting!
