Inner Journey

Mem, called chaos-
Potential yet unformed-
Trembled ‘neath the Aleph,
Abba’s breath divine-
Then uttered blazing living sheen-
Giving birth to earth and
Breath to death-
The great eternal ONE of love
Sends forth His sacrificial Son-
Then drawing in again,
Hides us safe within–

Great white steed of His return-Universe in the womb of time rolls up-Embryonic fullness of man’s new creation.

“Inner Journey” or more accurately, “The Way” originated at the request of Pastor Roger Friend as the “Power and Presence.” The enormity of the subject embarrassed the artist, preventing her from painting it for many months, with trepidation, Dorene began with a large soft sensitive brush in her left hand, and a firm bristle in the right, for rearranging the left’s spontaneity, the emerging image continually taking form quite differently than anticipated. Instead of liquid, laughing, light pulsating outward, a liquid tunnel of love was drawing inward, forming a great white stead rearing up with the embryo of a man. This celestial water, fire and atmosphere floats above the universe.

“Inner Journey” alias "The Way" or “Power and Presence” entered in to two major art shows. In both of them it received the peoples choice award by overwhelming majority vote.
