Mary Jane Q Cross

Art Renewal Center Associate Living Master

New Hampshire artist Mary Jane Q Cross is emotionally and spiritually present in all of her paintings. Painting with her fingers became necessary after developing a tremor that made brushwork difficult. Good coping skills and an eye that sees beauty and truth in most everything she sees, has given her work a broad scope of interests that develop not only into paintings but poems as well. We hope you take away a vision of paintings remembered, and poems repeated.

Mary Jane Q Cross

 Breath Of Heaven

A soft warm current , that I may touch

Air on my skin is speaking much

A small wind, a sacrament, Thy Breath bestows 

Rippling through fingers, my hand doth close

Holding fast in a moment of knowing

Invites me through , to where I am going

This draft, a benediction, to receive thy favor

This moment, this morning, my soul doth savor

My guided path You gently lay down

Wind swirling this day, to turn me around

Your Presence in the top, of the balsam trees

Divine’s the trail, as I sink to my knees

Showing me always to where You are

I know I am small, and the journey far

But You draw us this life, to walk, to say

Igniting, awakening, tracking the way

Thy Spirit, Thy sacrament at our fingertips

Ear to Heaven, Thy Name on our lips

The homing beacon You sow in Your own

On the Breath of breeze, winging us home
