"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.“(Matthew 11: 28-29)

Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Ascension

The Ascension of Christ 1636, painted by Rembrandt, oil on canvas, 
Alte Pinakothek, Munich: Catalogue number: Bredius 557. 
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." (John 14:12) 
As we experience the annual feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ, we can understand the powerful Love extended to all through this Heavenly sacrifice. 
Below is a poem that I have written for this occasion: 

 Ascension
Our eyes meet in a Heavenly gaze
and I am struck with desire to continue
 His mighty challenge. 
Weariless, brave, courageous
am I, His soldier of Peace
in a world in need of 
Ascension 
over fear.
