Master, bless.

My most precious ones,

I have yet another glorious drawing to share with you today. This is Ben's seventh drawing. We are almost at the half-way mark.

Here are his insights:

The icon drawing. For this I wanted to do two things, I wanted to make it feel more like a church setting..... a little hidden chapel. I put the pillar in the center to make a line between the mortal world and the divine.... but, your black robes cross that invisible line and while you are in prayer and contemplation, you in a sense touch the divine, kiss the tears of Christ and feel the embrace of that great cloud of witnesses.

He is a man after my own heart. Indeed, he has glimpsed the inner chambers of my heart. He understands my deepest, most vital and sacred aspiration: union with God.



Today is very peaceful. I have a number of blessed tasks to attend to in the dungeons. I am feeling a paradisaical tranquility.

There is no outward peace without inner peace. And so I say, may all human beings be respected, esteemed and honored: may all be truly loved.

Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.

Wise men do not quarrel,
So no one quarrels with them.
Therefore the ancients say, "Yield and overcome."
Is that an empty saying?
Be really whole,
And all things will come to you.
~Tao Te Ching

There is no peace, freedom or healing without detachment and reverence.
