here it is! the finished product! thanx to the assignment of the band "Burning Olympus" i now have another peice to share. These people pictured here are asending from, and descending into the water, thus accomplishing the visual of "Going Nowhere," the name of their cd. of course there is a deeper meaning here than a few guys leaving the water to only enter it again. the 6 people on the left are rising up with more vibrant colors and symbols of life and youth. click on the picture to see the first mans breath, the second w a flag ('A' for alpha, or beginning), a baby, a hiker-for travel and adventure, a green dress and a candle, and a fishing pole. notice also the leaves and birds on the left. The man in the middle is holding a light, whos significance we will discuss hereafter. to his left you will find six symbols of death and or aging. notice the darker duller colors, the beard and gun, the grey hair and cane, the pipe, their reluctance to move foreward, the red flag "Omega" or end, the dark hooded robe, and the last breath of life. on this side there are no leaves, no birds, and look at that setting sun! The middle figure is the seventh from either end, seven being a greek symbol for completion, directing us to where we are complete- not in the past, not in the future, but in the moment. the message is altered slightly to explain the importance of this present time, but not nesisaraly to the completeness found in the middle of ones life we call the prime. it may appear that way...? sorry for the confusion. The light is a symbol of the present.
