Meditation (22'x22'x4'6")

Meditation sits beneath an apple tree I planted years ago. The circular spiral of siltstone with the riverstone entrance is shaped like a crescent moon and a serpent. It echoes the story of the garden of Eden where humans gained the "knowledge of good and evil," an aspect of our humanity that I celebrate. The meditation bench invites one to sit in quiet contemplation or meditation. While the scene has some hidden biblical symbols, the atmosphere whispers more of a Celtic origin where animism and pantheism were honored which formed a sacred, human relationship to the Earth and the natural world.
