Trinity
in the World
by Barbara Dee Baumgarten (Acrylic on
unstretched canvas, 1992, 6' x 4') Christ Church
- Kalispell, MT barbara.baumgarten@gmail.com
Over the years I have become more and more convinced of
the personal nature of the Trinity-inward and outward.
In this painting the persons of the Trinity are united
at their hara (their center) which suggests that they
not only relate to one another but they mutually dwell
in one another and draw life from one another (they share
chi). They are one being but at the same time distinct
as Basil promoted; but more than that, they pour their
selves into one another and into the world. The trinity
is a dynamic outpouring of energy which manifests itself
in unique ways.
