"The Struggle"

This was an image the Lord burned into my spirit many years back.  

As I've grown and the years have ticked by, 

it's taken on different meanings to me.  

I used to say -- 
"If I could paint ... I would paint that".  

It's been bugging me lately.  I suppose I can liken it to a cleansing... 

I just needed to get it out.

It's the kind of thing that evokes a lot of emotion.  And, everybody who sees it has a different opinion and interpretation.  

None are wrong!

Here you go!
