Say I am You

Details

The Sufi poet and scholar Jelaluddin Rumi was born in Afghanistan in 1207. He died in Persia
in 1273 after a life of religious teaching and mystical writing in connection with his dervish community.
This bronze figurative sculpture seeks to express something of his poem "Say I am You".

"I am dust particles in the sunlight.
I am the sun.
I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
The evolutionary intelligence, the lift,
And the falling away. What is and what isn't.
You who know Jelaluddin, You the One
In all, say who I am. Say I am you."

Female Warrior

Details

This pair of bronze figurative sculptures of warriors are paradigms of the way
of peaceful resolution. They are contemporary embodiments of the same archetype
that has inspired Guatama Buddha, Mahatma Ghandi and other leading teachers of
non-violence and peaceful resolution. H.H.the Dalai Lama is a contemporary example.
They are defenceless. They carry no weapons, but give themselves in compassion
and devotion to others, oblivious of self interest.

Male Warrior

Details

Courage and self-sacrifice bear no relation
to gender. He is simply her counterpart.
Both warriors are highly trained in mind
and body, in ethics, compassion and wisdom.
They are able to turn the challenge of
adversity into goodness.

The Wounded Healer

Details

"Yet it was our afflictions he was bearing, our pain he endured.
The chastisement he bore restored us to health
and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53)

Bodhisattvas take on our sufferings and failings as does Jesus Christ,
who revealed the divinity of the sacrificial victim.
This bronze figurative sculpture of the Wounded Healer archetype can be
the source of healing power in anyone.
It must however be archetypal and not personal which is to say that it must
come from the most profound source deep within us.
