From Old Oxman dêrnen (to hide) itself from Old Auregan dernean, the inflected form of the adjectives 'dern' and 'darn', meaning 'secret, hidden' and 'dark', themselves from Old Oxman derne and darn, both from Old Auregan derni, itself from Proto-Germanic *darnijan meaning 'a secret'. Cognate with Old English dyrnan, diernan (to hide, keep secretly), Old Saxon dernian and Old High German tarnen (to keep secretly, hide). ……………………………………………………………………… “His approach to us is one of arrogance and pride. “I’m so wondrous,” he says, “how could you not revere me?” Just as we huff in frustration, he murmurs into our ear, “And you’re pretty wondrous too.” He brings to us pride. He wants us to completely and totally love ourselves, because that is when we are most in-tune with him………………………………………. To conclude, the Dierne is a god of love who teaches us about beauty, perception, and pride. He offers us complete understanding of ourselves and our world and the ability to better relate to both.” From www.patheos.com.

PS... Your book The Green Side Of God has been for the last 10 years, and will continue to be, a trusted tool and compass while navigating my universe! Thank u - forever grateful!xxMAnonymous Guest 22 Oct 2014
Love it Ron!!! For me this painting demonstrates creative energy - Universal God Force - Source Energy if you like, with its many dimensions and infinite possibilities. It says that the view from our window - is dependant upon our openness - how much of our view has been restricted by the curtains of mainstream religious teachings. Here the curtains are open knowing and seeing at last our pure creative potentiality... We are the God Force... We are the navigator of our own universe, and it is always the case that the WE on the outside is created from within by our conditioning and beliefs... To me the biggest message your painting carries is.. "Open your curtains - Look through YOUR window (third eye) and YOU will see!!!" xxMCarolyn Taylor 18 Oct 2014
Buth subtle and stunning--what an amazing image!Anonymous Guest 18 Oct 2014
This picture has given me/everyone a dictionary that makes it possible to have a conversation with what you might call God, which is truly amazing in today’s technical, mechanical, society. It’s a very green connection that helps to find the right language so you can talk to and to receive information from God….this sea of energy…this love…this cosmic light. When you talk, it leaves you completely naked – meaning, you have no attachments, no polar opposites. It is here that you can speak with your heart. When you do, you become enveloped in a cloak of cosmic celestial light where suddenly you find yourself in the Garden of Eden. Religion tries to say what God looks like, who he/it is, because every religion has a different mind-set about God. This has gone on through thousands of civilizations when high priests have popped up and said “follow me.” Here, if you are free of religion, you can talk to God in any language. The painter is showing you that this book is individualized just for you and is teaching you how you can use it to connect with God.
