Heart Pulse

A sense that there’s something more:

an inner pulse that pushes you,

an outer pulse that pulls you.

How to connect the two?

Yearnings lead up rugged mountains,

Urges propel down flowing streams.

It’s Life’s journey.

The heart knows…

The one is the Inner Spirit.

The other is the Universal All.

How do the two become one?

Time & Searching & Growing & Striving

At journey’s end and beginning,

the heart of completeness is found.

Becoming entwined, the one recognizes the other.

They are as one, but still separate and distinct.

Bound in Love, they radiate a subtle, but awesome Light.

By Paul R. Bareis

“Transcendence” was conceived and modeled while my mother, Marlowe, was in the final stages of Alzheimer’s Disease and was close to death. It helped me deal with my grief as I believed she’d be “transcending” to a better place. The female was actually modeled after her granddaughter, Anica, as I think we once again revert to a state of youthful innocence and bliss.

The stylized hand is that of an angel, there to vanquish all fear and aid in the transition. Multiple glass panes. upon which the soul is passing through, represents those dimensional planes that separate us from whatever lies beyond. The essence of this piece...love goes on!

There is a place in the heart that… will never be filled

a space

and even during the… best moments… and… the greatest times

we will know it

we will know it… more than… ever

there is a place in the heart that… will never be filled… and

we will wait… and… wait

in that space.

A commissioned piece honoring their two mothers.

36x20x35, 10 lbs, epoxy clay, acrylic, LEDs

Honoring my late grandfather, this bas relief sculpture has him smiling as he often did in life. The Pioneer Feed cap and the mounting on barn wood speak to his livelihood as a farmer. Similar pieces can be created honoring your loved one.

With her lightness of being, she brings Light to illuminate the darkness in the world.

17x9x24, 6 oz, steel wire

Not for sale, but I would willingly accept a commission to create a larger-than-life version that would be emblazoned with LED lights. It would make a stellar installation during the winter holidays.

The struggling soul refuses to see the inherent beauty in life. Meanwhile, the large, oversized, and loving hand of God attempts to comfort the distraught soul.

Not for sale.
