Description
These words came to me after a discussion I had with someone on the concept of creationism versus evolutionism . Having this perspective of the words in this image brings me great comfort knowing and 'believing' that the Creator of all is not subject to any of our human failings, limited thinking, knowledge, belief systems or dogmas including.....political or religious or otherwise.
My beliefs are fairly eclectic and I'm open to many possibilities and probabilities when it comes to how and where humanity had it's origins.....and that despite the literal biblical story that many adhere to (religiously), my feeling is that it's all open to interpretations. Remembering that once human beings believed the earth was flat and that pre-written history has largely been passed on through generations as a kind of mythology, being open to a greater understanding of how we came about is a healthier approach I'm feeling.
In this artwork I added a bottom line which is missing in my other version of this image. I added it because of my personal belief in a divine creator and that He/She is above all our worldly battles and arguments as to who is right and wrong when it comes to belief systems generally speaking......which there are so many of in the world we live in. And so many of these belief systems are used to commit the most atrocious evils in the name of a so called god while at the same time professing a superior faith that justifies anything and everything! And this has gone on for centuries so there's nothing new under the sun when comes to this.
To me Almighty God doesn't take sides (generally speaking), loves us all equally and bestows on us great blessings repeatedly. I personally have experienced 'Divine Grace' in my life which is beyond beliefs and dogma and I give thanks for that and thank God that "God is not limited by beliefs.".....mine or others!

This message seems self-evident about "God", or Universal Spirit (if there is one). It is beyond our possible comprehension, and therefore this resonates with me. // Good New Year to you, Leanne.
