Dance
24 x 30 in, Oil, 2016
The dance of galaxies is at once both fast, slow, and ever so graceful. It’s gravitational choreography challenges our every day concept of time. While our solar system races with a speed of 220 km/s (490,000 mph) in orbit around the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way is so vast that it still takes 240 million years to complete one orbit - far longer than humans have existed.

The best description of my spiritual inclination is what folks call #NaturalPantheism, or similarly, #ScientificPantheism. I've been journaling and thinking about it a lot, and I have been considering doing the universal life thing and officiating life events under the natural pantheism worldview, except I think the guy who has done a lot of the book writing about it recently feels possessive of the name. But I don't think it's trademarked. Still thinking about it.

“A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the #universe as revealed by modern #science, might be able to draw forth reserves of #reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a #religion will emerge.”
