With loving awareness, everywhere is home, and everyone a friend (Dimension 3: Height of a Life)

This painting is part of a series of three works related to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sermon “The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life.” This painting is about the third dimension – height – which is the spiritual aspect of one’s life and the reach for the divine. The title of the painting reflects a Buddhist perspective, and the two hummingbirds symbolize wisdom and compassion. The title is partially taken from the collection of concise poetic teachings in The Awakening Heart by Jamyang Tenphel.
