B'Kiwi (c) Renea Mackie 2007P E R P E T U A L I T Y *** By Renea MackieI stood in the quietness and stillness of my life, pondering for a moment, all that had been. And in this moment of actualization, where I expected a weighing of sweetness and sorrow, of victory and loss, of unrequited love, or at least of lust, there was none.None to paint a tale of life, no rich brush stroke of depth and despair, nor even joyous abandonment. Yet still I hear the cheerful song of life or lives that pass before me. As a pebble in a stream, I am amidst the flowing waters, enchanted by each current on its solitary path. And as it gathers purpose and pushes forth with reason, I, remain to witness, the remnants of its force.But how could nature so disguise such wonder?! For eternity? Its purest and most loving powers, encased in such a modest shell. Which good nor bad have torn nor tainted, yet simply passed un-noticing.And now? Amidst my quiet slumber, not dull but ever full of dream, there comes a torrent so enforcing, of which no likeness has ever been. At least not in these tranquil waters, or could it be these stagnant waters? Now wakening an urgent pulse, of life and all its vitality, and moves the pebbles in the stream, in ordered chaos and consistency.S A M P L E S *** OF *** M Y *** A R T W O R K I like to do renaissance style portraits, contemporary portraits, historical themes, RM Visual Music Art, children's concepts (including designs, books, screen), design in general, proposals, some poetry.
