Description
Xenodream, 1 buZZprolayer, PS6 for frame
MORTAL : And therefore, O God, I pray thee, if thou hast one ounce of mercy for this thy suffering creature, absolve me of having to have free will !
GOD : You reject the greatest gift I have given thee ?
MORTAL : How can you call that which was forced on me a gift? I have free will, but not of my own choice. I have never freely chosen to have free will. I have to have free will, whether I like it or not !!

awesome work dirk - a lovely, lively image
many adverse shapes and sizes with excellent gradient makes for an very unique fractal image.
Excellent representation of the words, a fantastic artwork!
The endless race or the race that never starts...Terrific looking work, hope that nobody has to sit on those pointy things! *
As usual, a very beautiful composition !
wow Dirk excellent work sure does look like no place to start or end fabulous piece of art work Brave **
Dirk, your images always represent such depth, in meaning and the visual! Excellent depiction of a never ending journey. Awesome!
Ah.. But we did choose to choose; in fact it was always our choice. Coulda chose to not choose. :~) Fantasmic composition, Dirk. Love the details, perspective and overall design..and the colors and texture are wonderful. Outstanding work.
great depth and textures...and it is a cool perspective...interesting dialogue gonna have to think on that one...
Superb...I love this style. ;o)
Now THAT is an interesting POV! I wonder what I would choose if I had that choice. I weigh the ramifications. A beautiful glimpse of eternity. V
Infinitely awesome! I like your effects on this design :D
Love the POV, and even better the image fits the words you have shared, If I had to choose al over again, I still would choose free will, myself. Excellent work ~V~
Very profound message Dirk and a super composition to deliver it. Excellent as always :)
endless infinity no way out being there for sure V Dirk for this truly amazing xd work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start here, Dirk - your journey has no beginning and no end, but always the joy of the moment. Thanks for this one place on your journey.
Fantastic, wonderful work! Love it Dirk!!! V (:
Beautifully sharp, edgy and pointy composition in keeping with the nature of the problem posed in the quote. I see you've got life moving in elipses (rather than circles; I think elipses are a better symbol myself) at ever widening intervals passing over the same or similar obstacles. I guess the choice (free will?) is in which eliptical orbit we elect to move (or in which it is elected for us to move = no choice at all). Such is the mortal quandry: can we ever really choose and can we ever know if we have chosen? No solid grounding on which to stand and no clear starting point. Love the philosophical evocativeness of you imagery! VOTE Rik
Beautiful Work!
A beautiful image. Interesting philosophical thoughts.
Excellent artwork and very deep thoughts!!, Your work is outstanding!!V
The convergence of all those fascinating shapes has been exceedingly well done , Dirk ! I like the chocolate-green spiked shapes and the geometric polyhedral shapes . The concentric oval layers for your background is lovely and is obviously as important as the foreground objects. superb composition V
Excellent fractalwork Dirk....!! Have a impressive depth and perspective...!! **
