An inspired vision of strength, Paul Schmidt delivers a divine message of hope in this artful editorial for the current issue of Commons & Sense. Tamy Glauser is a ‘Beast’ of beauty as she stands in regal elegance with a glorious bird siting perched on her shoulder. Speaking to the natural unity of all living things, the poetic symbolism sings out in sacred harmony. Believed by many cultures to be a supernatural link between the heavens and earth, birds are often thought of as deliverers of other-worldly messages. The symbiotic meeting of two perfect creatures, Schmidt uses sartorial art to celebrate the spiritual connection that exists between two souls. Breaking the bonds of mortal chaos, this mystical story dares to transcend the subjugated stance of our shallow existence. A silent state of being, we are reminded of the purity of the moment – for it is only in the quietness of still reflection that we can find true peace.
