| In the mythology of ancient Egypt, at death, the deceased's heart would be weighed against the ‘Ma'at,' the feather of Truth. If the heart, heavy with inequity, tipped the scales out of balance, the judged one would be ferried across the river Styx to the Underworld to serve the sentence of divine Justice. "Truth is ONE; the sages speak of it by many names."
"One must feel Truth-not with the mind-for Truth is simple and straightforward but it is the deviousness of the human mind that makes Truth (appear) complex." |
Bronze Sculpture
In keeping with his deep spiritual convictions and social consciousness, Muir's sculptural subjects have expanded to reflect the critical nature of the times in which we live. Yet, whether historical or contemporary, "the golden thread that ties it all together is still my never-ending quest for the essence of life- for Truth in its purest form."
