TO THE ANCIENTS THIS MEANT TO BREATHE IN NOT AIR, BUT THE SPIRIT; AND IT WAS THOUGHT WHEN SOMEONE WAS INSPIRED, THAT A GOD HAD BREATHED HIS SPIRIT INTO THAT PERSON. INSPIRATION COMES TO US; IT IS A GIFT, AND WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL WHEN IT APPEARS. WE RECOGNIZE IT WHEN IT COMES UPON US AS A GOOD THING BECAUSE IT LIFTS US TO A HIGHER PLACE, IT IMPARTS KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM AND LEAVES US FEELING A MORE WHOLE PERSON.

I CONSIDER THIS GROUP OF PAINTINGS, BECAUSE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE WAY THE IDEAS CAME TO ME, THEIR CREATION, THE INSIGHTS DERIVED AND THE AFFECTS THAT THEY HAD ON ME, TO BE THE RESULTS OF INSPIRATION.
