(Acrylics: 24X36)

I came across a drawing that made me start reflecting on my life. Over time I realized I had done some wrongs and those weighed heavily on me. Guilt is an awful thing to carry in life. I am a spiritual man, not to be confused with organized religions. I began to atone for my wrongs as best I could and stiil carry on the process of atonement. I have asked the Universe to forgive my wrongs whether intentional or not. Even today, I continue to ask the Universe to forgive me when I recall a wrong I have done. I even catch myself when I am about to do a wrong in my mind. Yes, I have done right but those are unlike wrongs. Wrongs, when realized, can replay in my mind and mask what I have done right in my life. Wrongs are like negative tapes playing in my mind and to erase them, I know the only way is atonement.The painting And When I Die is what I imagine my freedom to be as I soar to another place. There I will be guilt free for I have atoned in life. The red in the painting represents my hell in life still trying to hold me back, with guilt. Atonement will and has set me free. The purple like cloud to the right is the portal to the place granted to me by the Universe for having atoned for my many wrongs.
