FOREWORD
Within the flames may I see Your face...
A plea to thee that a glimpse of wisdom be revealed to me.
An ask for faith, belief and spiritual eyes.
A protest for revelation sacred to the soul
That these words mend the hearts of those who glance at it...
That life changes for the good from here on.

However, when magnifying glasses are used to scrutinise the picture closely, near the finders eye, profound things oath to be remains. An indirect communication with your soul. Your perspective and reaction to it is perfect. We are individuals, unique and different to one another. Therefore how you relate with this art is excellent for you in particular.
