Treasure

Tags: , , , ,

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Finished a piece recently that I had started quite a while back.  Things come up, obstacles are faced and sometimes you put aside a piece because your are interested in something else.  But with my old computer crashing recently I returned to work on some unfinished pieces, like this one, called Treasure.

It is  a small reflection on Christ’s teaching about what our heart values and highlights the fleeting nature of riches.  Often enough pieces I make come home to me in new ways as I struggle with my own life and decisions and continue  to walk this life as the sojourner and pilgrim that I am.  More than anyone I need to be reminded of my true home and the real treasures.
