Artist's Comments
The Only Way Out Is Through

Having discovered his bliss our Folly is now eager to make it all happen immediately. He rushes into his journey and discovers Action: Number 3 in the 5 Element Tarot, typically the Empress.

Sitting in the shade of the Spiritually Healing Echinacea, quite obviously full with child our gracious lady holds in her hand the Scepter of Responsibility, symbolizing the acceptance of our actions as our own. Keeping the Cornucopia of Bounty nearby and protected by a Key of Knowledge as a necklace, she sits comfortably on the cushioned ground representing the promise of riches that our pursuit of happiness can contain. Upon her head she wears a Crown of Success reminding us that the expression of our future will be seen in this world but will also affect our spirit.

With a gentle and motherly smile, our Folly is instinctively drawn to Action and her lesson. Like any mother, she can see his enthusiasm and eagerness to manifest his destiny today. She passionately instructs him that just, as it takes 9 short months to create a child a lifetime is filled in being a mother to that child. In the beginning all things worthwhile start delicately and require patience, nurturing, love and attention to reach greatness.

The journey has just begun and we must gather a lifetime of lessons as we learn them and apply them to our path to realize our fortune. Skill and Intuition can help lead us toward our bliss, but to truly immerse ourselves into life fulfillment and for the process to enrich our daily life, we must have an unwavering internal passion to pursue your goal.

With this new deeper understanding of what it takes to reach his destiny, our young Folly resumes his journey with a newly discovered determination for his path.

Do you have the passion, persistence and stamina to work through to your destiny?
