Gateway: Artist's Comment
Even when we must deal
with a "trial by fire or ice (stressful events such as illness)," we
have choice. The gate is always open to a better way, to knowledge, to
wisdom, to balance, to whatever constitutes wholeness in our unique human
perception. There is no lock on the door. Whether we choose to
enter into that better place is largely up to each of us. Passing
through the door requires us to leave fear at the threshold so that we can
step "into the light."
The crow, or raven, has
been a cosmic symbol for many cultures, being associated with creative power,
spiritual strength, solitude, primordial beginnings, and mystic powers.
It is known to those who have observed it closely as a highly intelligent and
alert creature.
