The Mother of Creation is a universal concept and appears in many guises: Divine Mother, Holy Spirit, Goddess of Light, Shakti, Mary, Madonna, etc. This is the divine feminine of the Mother which is beloved by many. Throughout the ages, artists have recorded their spiritual visions. Think of great masters like Michelangelo and Da Vinci. Consider William Blake who was ridiculed in his life but is now revered. His visions were extraordinary and included Adam and Eve. They had a basis in truth. The Mother is also portrayed through many forms of art. But this is not just the religious and Renaissance art of western civilisation. Sacred art is everywhere. Music also has a vital role in this renaissance. Sacred music has evolved through the centuries - from western classical composers to the mystical traditions of India and the East. Music is a universal language of passion and feeling. The world is enriched by music in all its many forms. Art can be combined with music to increase its appeal to the spiritual self. So that a meditation on the Mother or Spirit - that combines art and music in this way - may help a person towards a state of enlightenment. This is an enlightenment to the Spirit of Truth - the Mother - who is instrumental in the renaissance of Man. The Spirit is the Helper and Comforter - and with us forever. So that we can live in the grace of the Spirit.

This wonderful combination of truly inspired poetry and paintings expresses the ordeal of everyday human suffering, the love within that never dies and the spiritual awakening of the soul - rising from the ashes of the past.In creating their unique forms of art, Jerrold Donington and Marilyn Cahane have drawn on deeply personal experiences in their lives. They have had the conviction to search for true meaning and inspiration in the midst of great emotions - from dark despair to the ecstasy of love. Along the way, they have been touched by the miracle of eternal hope, and they would like to share the truth of this revelation in this extraordinary fusion of spiritual poetry and paintings.
