‘Torqued Motion’ by Marmont Hill Art Collective
From Birth to Death to Life Ever-lasting
From the moment we’re born we’re twisted and turned under extreme pressure to become someone in the world. One of my mother’s pet sayings was, “Do you think you’ll ever amount to anything?” I never took offense to it at the time it was delivered with loving affection.
I did take offense later when I was old enough to consider “what it means”. The meaning change again when I understood her story. She lost her mother to TB when she was 3. She was mostly raised by relatives. In those days one third of all children were expected to raised by someone other than their parents. They were encouraged to be perfectly behaved in the interest of their future survival. I expect she was only repeating what was said to her. I pray that they said it with affection. Ancestors in my maternal line were known as people of Faith for generations.
We are Born Again through Christ who lived to die for us. The Way to die to the world is an effort to be nobody in the world. God’s Way requires nothing of us in the world. We were given Time to express what we Love about being alive. God’s Ways are always easy. We don’t have to do anything but Give Thanks to the Highest One for the Dream the the Holy Spirit will carry to its end. An incorruptible Seed can never fail.
Romans 14:11 KJV
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
“The Three Servicemen” sculpture was installed in 1985. In 1993 the Vietnam Women’s Memorial was unveiled a short distance from the wall. The bronze sculpture, depicting three women caring for an injured soldier, recognized the work of the more than 10,000 women who served in Vietnam.
