Hi Bob,
I wanted to show you a piece of sculpture that came completely from dreaming while awake, it was an image that came to me as I went on long walks with my
dogs. I was reading and thinking about Castaneda's work at the time, this was about 2002, then in 2003/04? I was back in school studying art, I made this
image in bronze, it was my first metal sculpture. I live in the South, so pine trees were all around me and I pictured this image in my peripheral vision as I
walked and meditated, manta flowing. I have been wanted to share this image with you after reading your post in "The tree of life..." thread.

You are the first to confirm my theory. It did not make sense that it took Jesus two trys to heal this man.
I knew it had to be for some specific reason that this story is told in this unique way. "
Mark 8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE MEN AS TREES, WALKING.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town
