Seeds nestled within my heart continue to pulsate as I ingest the meaning of the journey from which I have returned, palpitating with life that ripens to an understanding that the journey is never really completed, that infinity is not consummated, that life, death, rebirth is necessary for recreation, that one must continually remake oneself, allow oneself to be remade even as the core radiates luminous.

Thank you for helping me receive myself back from you at the luminous centre. Painting-Victor Ekpuk Verbal text-Toyin Adepoju
Your cosmos destroyed. At its heart seeds of regeneration. Painting-Victor Ekpuk Verbal text-Toyin Adepoju
Being born is not as important as giving birth to oneself anew. Nurture in the flame of aspiration what you want to become, against all odds, even against all hope. Every day go through the labour of birthing yourself anew, till, one day, it is done! Painting-Victor Ekpuk Verbal text-Toyin Adepoju
Are you a question the cosmos is asking itself? Or are you an answer to this question? How will the question be asked, if the question does not know itself? How will the answer be found, if the answer does not know the question? Painting-Victor Ekpuk Verbal text-Toyin Adepoju
From the configuration of the world as you know it, you rise to the constellation of the world as it is, the larger encasing the smaller. But do the other birds approaching the larger world from a different angle see it the same way? Is there one true cosmos for everyone? Can we unify all the variant perspectives into one?

Journey to the Centre The cosmos a symbol forest into whose all absorbing heart you journey. Hurtling towards the centre, how can a symbol among symbols understand the symbol cosmos of which it is a part? Purification by black fire and green fire brings you to the dark centre, where what you are drops away, to become something unknowable from the other side.
