Sailing

If you look at my work you will see several recurring themes.
The most important ones relate to my faith.
In today's pictures you will see the first representation of a sail boat.
Not only did Jesus sail in boats and walk on water
but I have sailed and felt free in the wind as well.
Being confined to a chair restricts what I can do but someday I will have a ressurected body just like Jesus and I will know what it is to be truly free.

Check out these lyrics from Leonard Cohen's song Suzanne

"And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind."



Best wishes
DAVID
