'Transcendent Self Portrait" by William Rock
"To transcend the self; to exist apart from the self is what some may call the divine or others may call pure awareness. One ancient text states; truth is one and the sages speak of it in many ways. On one level these paintings are signposts. They are marks left on the path as I made a journey within."
-William Rock
... And after all I do only want to advise you to keep growing quietly and seriously throughout your whole development; you cannot disturb it more rudely than by looking outward and expecting from outside replies to questions that only your inmost feeling in your most hushed hour can answer.
