Hold to the Rod, The Iron Rod
by James C. Christensen
Hold to the rod, the iron rod;
’Tis strong, and bright, and true.
The iron rod is the word of God;
’Twill safely guide us through.
- Joseph L. Townsend, "The Iron Rod"
As we walk the road of life, we tend to collect things that make
us feel safer and more sure of ourselves. These may be material
possessions, titles or responsibilities, but in the end they amount
to the same thing: a fleeting and superficial sense of security.
It is only by holding fast to our beliefs that we can navigate life
with any confidence.
The character in Hold to the Rod finds
himself so burdened with the mundane objects he has collected that,
while he hopefully eyes the rod, he cannot reach up to hold it for
fear of losing something else. The man has become little more than
a vehicle for his adornments. He demonstrates that what is truly
important is keeping sight of our true belief and faith, that they
alone will guide us through.

Fiona
by James C. Christensen
Clothed in garb of cobwebs and moonlight, Fiona
catches your gaze. Like all of the sídhe (faeries) she is
breathtakingly beautiful, but Fiona is more than meets the eye.
Celtic legends tell of men and women who followed the unearthly
music of the faeries deep into the woods and were never seen again.
Other folk tell a friendlier tale of the leanan sídhe, the
faerie muses who protect artists and poets in exchange for their
immortal love.
James Christensen’s Fiona shines
in her natural adornments. If you look closely, you’ll see
the half-hidden subjects of her kingdom: flowers, animals and insects,
hidden amid her garments. If you look closer still, you just might
find exactly what you seek, but beware—the promises of faeries
are fleeting and nothing is ever quite what it seems.
