"There is something renewing and hopeful for me about sitting on the shore. I love the sun going up and down and the magic moments it brings which ignite the heart, if only for a moment, giving us a solid feeling of connection and divinity. This painting is such a beautiful sample of how we can take memories with us and how, when conjured up, they can continue to bring us wisdom and peace. When I look at this painting I recall the story Matthew 4:19 where Jesus told Simon and Peter that he would "make them fishers of men". This story has much to do with the testament of Christ as it does the choices we make everyday.
Regardless of your faith and personal belief, I feel in my heart that we would all like to be able to help others find peace and a sense of calm. It hurts us when we see suffering in our children, our friends and the world. There is a saying, "Be the lighthouse" meaning, do not get in your boat and try to chase those who need help around the rocks, rather stand in your light and in your calm and let them come to you and experience what you have to share. I feel that is what the sun is doing in this painting. As it is rising and the men are fishing off of the horizon, there is divine order and a sense of peace. It gives us a feeling of stillness and inner calm just to bare witness to the unfolding day and events.
So as it relates to the action of "being a fisher of men", I believe that it has less to do with bringing people to Christ as it does bringing people to a sense of inner peace and absoluteness in the divine order and our relevancy in it."
