“The Revelation II”

“The Revelation II”
Bill Worrell

I believe
Those who diligently and conscientiously
Seek LIGHT
Will be showered with
And surrounded by
LIGHT.

For me the revelation appeared on Saturday, March 2, 1985, at 1:26pm. I was working in the pottery lab at Houston Baptist University where I was professor of art. That is the moment in time when I ceased blaming God and Jesus for the frailties, the inconsistencies, and the degradation of human beings. My relationship to Deity became as clear as pure crystal. I considered that in the future I might not recall the clarity and the beauty of that experience, and it was so profound that I inscribed it into a slab of clay, allowed it to dry, and then fired it. It has hung in my New Art home for twenty years.

There are many skeptics. I was one of them. Faith and belief are acts no one can perform for anyone else. Those who possess faith and belief can meditate or pray for those who do not but that is all we can do, that, and also attempt to live life with integrity.

I believe
Those who diligently and conscientiously
Seek LIGHT
Will be showered with
And surrounded by
LIGHT.
