A favorite format is the cruciform. I love the drama of energy exploding from darkness into the light of new birth, where in the unknown all is possible. Dark to light. Rough to smooth. Warm to cool. I can feel the excitement of a new idea emerging, eager to see what comes next, the pain of struggle leading to new life. Pain and joy, two sides of the equation.
