Like a lighthouse on a foggy black night guiding ships safely home to harbor, a proud Mary blinks in the forefront of the Rocketts.She is the spiritual light leading the way through the endless stream of secular distractions faced in ones daily life.
Behind Mary, secular distractions furiously blink their own vibrant colors, doing their utmost to blot out Mary's white light of purity and truth.
The Rocketts gathered behind Mary are all in various stages of life and situation. But no matter what their life situation may be, they will always remain safe behind Mary's light of truth.
Occassionally, a Rockett may step to the forefront, to the limelight. But the rush of such a risk can only momentarily be lived. The weight of personal responsibility will prove too much. The limelight only smoke screens the truth. Limelight is blinding. Self delusional. Ego inflating.
Proud Mary shine on.
My daily choice is do my best to stand firmly behind her to bask in her warm light of humility.
This is the best of days.
"Proud Mary and the Recycled Rocketts" is now being exhibited at the ArtWorks All-Media Show.
