This painting by Alex Grey is entitled Oversoul.  I have four reproductions of Alex’s work in my apartment.

Today, do I write six paragraphs of what Oversoul “means”.  No.  My meaning is likely different from yours.  And actually … why do I need it to have a meaning?  I don’t.

Perhaps I should compare Oversoul to other Alex Grey paintings, showing my keen skills of analysis.  No.

Okay … how about Grey and other contemporary artists?  Revealing distinctions here should enhance you readers’ appreciation of art.  No.

Or a lesson in the span of art history, leading to today?  No.

Please let Oversoul leap off the screen and enter your heart.  Your mind need not apply.
