Description
I have used here a text from a time-honoured version of the New Testament scripture in the Christian Bible - the first verse of the Gospel according to Saint John -against a collage background of an interpretation of the Big Bang [theory of the] creation of the Universe. While this is presented only in a metaphorical way, I have chosen to show it as a kind of solar explosion. While the general image is abstract in nature, some iconography may be found. 'The Word' is most often thought of in Christian theology as Jesus Christ in that he is thought to have the same essence as God the Father along with the Holy Spirit, who was there at the beginning of Creation.He said of himself :'I am the Way, the Truth and the Life', 'I am the Light of the World.'

Thanks, once again, Laurel. I am so glad that you sensed what I was trying to say, perhaps with guidance from above.

...v..Best to you, Nigel. Your insight reflects wisdom and greater conscious awareness in your entries. Thank you for gracing this contest. (The leaderboard cannot define one’s standing in these lofty realms..:-)

I love how you set this 2020 collage before...for this 2021 stage to follow...the mix of written, earthly and cosmic elements fragmenting into newness continues the genius theme from your earlier piece. BRILLIANT! THIS is truly thematic of the contest intention...BRILLIANT!
