Nissan: I Choose and I Am Chosen ("I’m livin’ my life like its golden")
Nissan is the first Month of the Hebrew Calendar.
In the month of Nissan we are acutely aware of the emergence of spring, a time of potential and renewal. In Nissan the earth gives us concrete evidence of the power of perseverance and endurance.
There is in Nissan a call to make a choice, to choose one’s personal redemption from slavery (Nissan is the time of the celebration of Passover). The choice we are called to make is one that must be spoken, we must use our voice, our individual expression, to claim this freedom. The power of choosing to express oneself is no less than miraculous.
In the month of Nissan I tried to understand the power of my choice and of being chosen by my life; to “live my life like it is golden”. From “Golden” by Jill Scott
Nissan: I Choose and I Am Chosen
(I’m livin’ my life like its golden)

I have a strong reaction to your pieces. The colors are very strong and dramatic. My heart started to beat very hard! Very intense for me. I will reexamine in a few days.
Your Mother would be so proud. I am very proud of you. You were always driven and Now you have your own web site with your grand work! And so spiritual.
Impressive.
