'Talitha Cumi' in Arabic means 'Little maid, arise' or 'Little girl, arise' and were the words of resurrection that Jesus spoke to a girl who had died, causing her to live.

There's a story behind this painting. When I first pulled the plastic off this one, I was horrified. I thought it depicted someone being held down, or restrained by all these ropes. At first, I refused to 'do it' and set it aside. But after further contemplation, I decided to not pre-judge it, but go with it and see what happened. As I began to tidy up the lines, I began to notice that this girl wasn't being held down - she was being released. She was arising from what formerly held her down. Her face is still completely covered in the rags or dressings, causing her to still be blind, yet, she was arising, answering the call of something her eyes could not yet see.

This is what we each are doing, at this very moment. We are arising from our 'bondage', despite the fact that we can't clearly see what it is we are rising towards. We are answering the same call within. And within is where you'll have your answer. It waits.

Needless to say, Talitha Cumi went from being nearly thrown away, to one of my most favorite. I hope you enjoy her, and she speaks as clearly to you as she has spoken to me.

Peace-

Powerful. Even moreso than "Nightmare of the Soul."

I'm glad the piece resonated with you. The music is Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet Overture Fantasy".

Your third paragraph in your describtion has made me burst out crying.

The music in this video I love, who is the composer and what is the name of the piece so I can find it?

Love.

Amazing! Just the legs. They aren't leg-like, or kind of legs, or one or more legs at odd angles, but very shapely legs, proportioned and positioned artfully. But they're random creations.

Which makes you wonder - what exactly does "random" mean? If legs can appear out of the ether, perhaps the way things come to be is entirely different than what we had supposed. - that there is no time and the universe is a constant creation in the Now, with only a seeming cause and effect.
