I never knew the quote until I read your write up, and I think those are very comforting words. It really puts things in perspective, and makes you think that no matter how tough the challenges may be, there's always someone looking out for you. Gives a lot of perspective during trying times. I'm sure your friend will appreciate the encouraging gesture, brother.

I really like the concept of the rainbow in the eyes. For me, it represents the diversity of the world and the all-encompassing nature of the watchful eye. The sparrow's reflection is a nice touch, and it's a great move placing it in the glint. I like how it all started as a whole and you "shattered" it. The effect was very nicely done, and it wouldn't have been noticed without the process shots. Very fascinating! Nice fluorish with making the heart as the vertex, too.
