The heart artist

Wonderfully wise Emelisa called me
on the weekend
(Featured Artist from two weeks ago)
It was the first time we have "spoken"
We met online at the Marvellous Message Board
I had always felt drawn to her
Her warmth, compassion
amazing open heart
Her conscious conscious journey and learning
Loving herself and loving others
She shares her story willingly and sweetly
Her life is an open book
Her heart is an open one
It was a delight to speak to her
We spoke for three hours
How amazing to speak to a stranger and yet get along so well.
She spoke about going through a period of immense growth and creativity, and then becoming stuck - becoming anal and rigid.
It reminded me of when I would become anal in my art... my art teacher at the time, Turiart, said once how it was like a bird flying for the first time, and realising it was flying, being so dang excited it was flying, it was flying about thinking I'M FLYING I'M FLYING and it becomes sooo excited it somersaults and ends up with it's head stuck up its arse.
I think it's a fabulous analogy of becoming anal.

So yes, Raficki ~ Emelisa is a dear spirit
even when she feels anal
she bursts with colour
I feel so blessed to have met her!
