Doctor and Doll by Norman Rockwell
“‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Acts 2:17 (NIV)
We just finished a wonderful and color-filled autumn trip to the Northeast United States. One of the highlights was the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. I was moved by the character and vision of this man as captured in his voluminous depictions of American life and ideals.
Where are we to find this kind of healing vision? How can we capture a healing art in this complicated and cynical world? My conclusion is that just like this Norman Rockwell image, it is found in both the old and the young where reality is created despite the evidence. It is found in the visions of both! It doesn’t deny the evidence, it sees beyond it. Thanks for the healing art of Norman Rockwell.
