Nassau, Bahamas		 The Order Lying Behind Appearance—Einstein
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the
way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

As a member of a global design team that has been working together for over 30 years, I have had the privilege of capturing my journey in poetry in beautifully designed papers and books. For quite a while, I was racked with doubts as to whether I was worthy enough to share my thoughts. Then, I had these thoughts that freed me from such doubts:

Just because someone has already said it
One way—It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t say it
Again—another way—or your way.
If the way you say it helps just one other person
Then surely it should be said.

Just because you can’t say it in a grand way
It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t say it.
Sometimes the simplest way
Turns out to be the grandest way of all.

The profits from the sale of my books and apparel

PORTRAITS OF A LIFE
The Journey of Gerald Henry

The question is often asked; What would
you do if you has 24 hours left to live?

Portraits of A Life is my answer to that
question. If I had 24 hours left to live, the
love expressed in this deeply personal
book is what I would want to share with
my loved ones. It presents a series of
self-portraits through which I have been
fortunate to access a deeper part of Self.
I am thankful for this opportunity to be
able to share them with you.

The book is a companion piece to this
website and was inspired by a 24 hour
burst of creativity on April 8, 2012.

EXTRACT FROM
PORTRAITS OF A LIFE

It’s Amazing the Way
Love Can Set You Free

It is said:

Nothing exists that is not Shiva
Nothing exists that is not God
Nothing exists that is not the Self
Nothing exists that is not your Self

The Self is Consciousness
The Self is your Consciousness
Without your Consciousness
—Nothing exists

That is why it is said:

God dwells within you, as you
—As your very Self

It is also said:

The Self is already attained
That you will never be more
Or less the Self
Than you are right now
The only thing that will ever change
Is your perspective
There is nothing higher than the highest
Attain to the highest perspective
There is only the One

Thou Art That

Love is the Redeemer
Love is the secret sensation of the Self
Love is what fills the spaces between
Thoughts, atoms, All

This love is real
It is moving, flowing through everything,
everyone, everywhere, always.
Love is everything, everyone,
everywhere. Always.

Love is in front of you, in back of you
To the left of you, to the right of you
Above you, below you, outside you,
inside you, Is you.

You don’t have to look anywhere to find it
You don’t have to go anywhere to get it
You don’t have to be anywhere to give it

It can’t go anywhere
Because it’s always everywhere
It can’t be lost
Although it can be found
It can’t be taken away
Although it can be given back
It can’t be put to sleep
Although it can be woken up

There’s nothing love can’t do for you
It’s your will (and won’t) power too
It will expand and contract for you
Create your asked-for point-of-view

There is a river of love
Flowing through life
Flowing through each of us
Flowing through our hearts
This river of love
Has been flowing since time began

Why not be that love always? It’s
amazing the way love can set you free
