This painting is a visual representation of the journey we are all on.  The journey becomes 'real' on the day we realize how 'stuck in the mud' we are... existing from day to day in the swamp of complacency.  That day of awareness...that moment when we realize we are lost and have, in fact, forgotten who we are...that is the moment... when the real journey begins.

Remain clear, ever forward, until your vision is realized.  When you reach the summit and have found your finest self, remember that this journey is a balancing act.  Find your courage, Hope, and humility. It's your time...to wear the hat.
