From Death We Rise Original Artwork

12 X 16 Oil on Panel

the fallen tree,
not a failure —
but a teaching...

something inside
knows the truth:
to live fully,
we have to die
before we die.

this is the pattern —
the atonement
as grace
and alignment.

he didn’t die
so we wouldn’t —
but so we would
know how.
