Light leads to the tree of Life, the source of Living Water – but how can I find this tree I have been told to seek? this one has light leading to it – but then there is darkness seeming to surround it . . . how can I find the “right tree” ? will I always just be a seeker, destined to always thirst, but never drink of the Living Water . . . “Faith, have faith,” I have been told – but if what I believe is what will guide me to the tree, the Living Water, why do I not see a path, a way to walk toward that tree . . . an inner source? what does that mean and how could that be? “from the inner being Living Water will flow abundantly” I breathe deeply . . . I believe in the process: Divine Completeness from the One Source, the Spirit . . .
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!
