i'm listening...



meditation last night.

there is a secret inside of me:

a secret because for now it is more a soft, deep KNOWING than one i can share in words.
it is about how art is so needed in this world.
how it is a divine gift. how it inspires the rest of the world to do what they need to do.
how we are vessels for the goddess, the muse, that stands before us, a goddess that is invisible to everyone else, and she asks you to paint her likeness so that others may know of her.

my parents arrive tomorrow for my exhibition opening.
it's so very lovely they are making the trek across the country (literally) to be here to stand in that room with me swimming in the colours of my heart splashed on canvas.
a friend keeps referring to the opening as being an "inner kids party" and asks that next time i also hire a jumping castle.
i am so excited at the possibilities and the reality.
i am proud of what i have done, and my heart swells with joy that i will be sharing this occasion with family and friends.
you know when you've followed your highest spirit?
and the gifts come?
that's right now.

"The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds,
the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the
energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in
the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire."
~ Pierre Tielhard de Chardin

hello,

I am here for the first time after seeing your name on other blogs. I read the first part of this post and my heart swelled up with happiness. I've been taking VERY tentative steps toward making art for the first time, and your post has inspired me to keep trying. Thank you so much.
