In this series, I am exploring the concept of armour. Specifically, what we choose as armour in a contemporary setting against a backdrop of historical techniques and interpretations. What are the advantages of armour - what is our armour and why do we need it? Each piece in the series exudes power, strength and lightness intended to embolden and fortify.
 
 
Inspired by "Himmelsfunken", text by Johann Peter Silbert/music by Franz Peter Schubert 1819
Messages from heaven
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
 
The breath of God blows gently,
and silently, longing awakens;
the intoxicated heart faints
in wonderfully sweet agony.
 
How it dissolves in the mild air -
the heavy bonds of earthly life!
Sacred tears flow,
alas! for that heavenly land.
 
How powerfully does the heart lift itself
toward those blue heights!
But alas! why, with such sweet pain,
does it so tenderly faint? -
 
O sweet bliss!
Mildly, like the dew of heaven,
does God's solemn greeting beckon
from high in the still blue!
 
And the orphaned heart
hears the quiet call,
and longs to return home
to the Father who created it!
