Description
This is one of the few paintings I actually saw in a vision. A stele of the manikin scepter{a deity of lineage, sacrafice, and vision quest} smokes beside a long black road with white bricks. I do not know exactly what it means as it is a vision and not a direct concept. To me it seems to be a marker in a time...a Mayan grave-stone which is more of a living reminder than a symbol of death. The mysteries of the Maya are carried to the present moment through such markers as the existing ruins and the calendar{with its upcomming end-date}. Concentrated thought endowed with sacred blood long ago is still alive and present today.
Bloodletting, the sacrifice of human life, is ongoing....the stars whach the carnage silently in their preccession across our sky.
But perhaps the blood in this painting{the sky, celestial blood} is self-sacrifice as in a mayan vision ceremony where blood is let from the fingers and tongue onto paper which is then burned. Visions come in the form of a serpent which rises from the smoke of burning blood-paper.

But I am open to any interpretation here.
