Description Metaphorically speaking, we are all blind in so many ways. But one thing should always remain steadfast... as we grope and stumble through the darkness, our hearts and minds should be focused upwards... heavenward... positively aspiring to better spiritual heights.

I think anyone who has ever felt blind in their attempt at spiritual evolution can identify with this. Well done.

Now who wud ever think of replacing a head with a ladder! This is so out-of-this-world it made me speechless. Very, creative u are. I love everything about the visual but I'm not too sure what it means. What I see is someone who is aiming high but doesn't have a direction. Did I get it right? Anyhow I think this is awesomely mind-boggling. And good luck with the contest!

You got the interpretation pretty well... that was dead-on-the-money! The ladder for a head is my warped way of hinting that the mind should be "thinking heavenward" or "towards God"... guidance for the metaphorically blind, so to speak. Thanks for your great comments!

Excellent, my friend! It's a non-complex image, but the concept is interesting and you used the stock very creatively (but then, you're so creative!), and it's so well executed! Good luck on the contest!!
