The meeting with time

The meeting with time

This painting was created by me in 2001. It describes the moment when I first met with the time. It was early in the morning June day. I sat in the garden in meditating. In front of me was crawling slowly bright caterpillar. She crept very slowly and deliberately. I am a very long time watching her, and I noticed that her path directs me. She crawled into his temporary pace of life, not knowing that there are a number I am and what I do exist. When her frail body crawled to my feet, for some inexplicable reason, she began to dig into the ground and was soon out of sight. It was the moment for me when the time had stopped. It was a very long pause. I felt it by my body, mind and spirit, that the time is a completely separate entity that lives apart from all that exists, but that can be physically felt by touching it if necessary. And at the same time is like a myth, which does not exist. Time is a paradox merger of two opposites. This is something that both exists and does not exist in the same moment. On the same day, I started to draw this painting. This painting depicts the girl holding in her hand the time. Character of the time is neither male nor female, as the time may be one and the other, or be someone else. Time is a unique character, because it can be assembled like a puzzle of all possible infinite variations. In this variation, it is the combination of the moment of conception, birth, life and death of a human way. Every moment follows one after the other and cyclical completes its circle. As you can see, the girl and the time come, and many ways to branch out and temporal variations in the forms of white branches. This is a variety of ways of the single tree of life, which connect everything and nothing at once.
