Numerous hands extend towards a central bright area in a dynamic composition. Vibrant colors and sketchy lines create a sense of spontaneity in many hands reaching from darkness toward the light.

No Kings Day with a good attitude
To be called upon to be so is the supreme affirmation of our humanity and confidence that we have the capacity to carry it out, if we so choose and commit. We know what is good and what is not

A dazzling hummingbird is captured in mid-flight, against a deep, blue textural sky. Its vivid, multicolored plumage creates a striking contrast against its blurred wings conveying a sense of the tiny bird's motion and energy. The semi-abstract drawing evokes the symbolism of grandeur even in the miniature world of the hummingbird.

Dynamic, swirling lines and vibrant colors intertwine, creating an energetic and complex abstract composition. Formation is not simple and we often do not look pretty in the process, but the One who forms us looks closely and loves the beauty most do not see.

Love moves us to repent and heal the damage done.
The phrase "Love Calls to Impeach and Remove" is superimposed upon a background of abstract shapes that look like roots.

A detail from an abstract drawing which looks like two snakes moving diagonally toward upper right decorated with party lights. Superimposed over the scene are the two phrases: "We hold the gift of choosing our evolution." and "Some are choosing extinction." The URL "horizongate.org/indpndnc" is across the bottom.

A soliloquy of one in power warning us of their plight
1st 2 Stanzas:

That boast of confidence
In my own genius
Indicates a measure
Of self-delusion and
Dressed up incompetence.

Here am I immersed in
My misconception of
Solo independence
Mistaken for freedom.

In the night awakened
Troubled sights and sounds
On your heart weighing;

Your turn in the prayer watch
Called by the Spirit
In the Company

Believing what cannot
Be circumscribed or sold
And not to worry;

Your turn to move
The minute increment
In humanity’s growth,

Here is an object of swirling shapes growing out of a primordial crater under a dawn sky with energetic foreshadows of forms to come. It is titled Evolving Hope, by Mark R. Turner. What does hope look like? We can only draw symbols as we keep growing toward a Goodness beyond what oppressors try to sell us.

Six colorful planets float against a backdrop of a starry galaxy. A golden, cosmic net connects them all telling us to know the security of Grace which holds all wherever each member goes in the universe. The vibrant hues of blue, red, orange, green, yellow, and purple on the planets contrast strikingly with dark space and the glowing galaxy.
