Saturday, I was invited to sit with another in their sacred space...
we sat together...on opposite sides of this vessel...
I on the east...he on the west...
anchored at sea for 5 hours...
holding the space for each other to release...
speaking freely...
our words were enough in that time...
a rare gift.
Grandmother Sun was my chaperone...
when she set, I knew it was time for me to go...
part of me longed to linger...
to lay down on that seat and gaze at the stars all night long...
in silence and understanding...
but the stars scolded me and said "your time to gaze at us all night long will come, sweet girl...don't worry, we will be right here waiting for you, another time, and we will save our brightest sparkles just for you".
on the dinghy back to shore, the sea lit up behind us...
found heart at the center of a cut tree - discovered a few weeks ago along my driveway.
Still in awe & wonder of this heightened state I'm in.
Knowing that it is a gift and exploring every corner of it no matter how exhausing it becomes.
Savoring the deeper sense of freedom with each layer I allow myself to shed.
Grateful for a new found place of peace where I can go to let it all settle.
Drawing from that peaceful energy so that I can finally make some sense of it all and in turn, focus for more than a second & function through what I want & need to do.
Enjoying & honoring all the work that is coming my way, i.e. solo shows and a few other "secret", (for now), projects in the works.
That's where I'm at today...in case you were wondering.
...how about you? what are you marinating in today?
this morning, I noticed this little string on my pants that just happened to form a heart...
when I got home from my errands and was unloading the car, I noticed this mama dear and her 2 babies in the clearing of my driveway...
I wondered what these messages meant to me today & I came across this:
"Fawn can teach you many lessons about unconditional love. In it's true application, unconditional love means that no strings are attached"...(which reminded me of the loose heart shaped string on my pants). "The gentleness of Fawn is the heart space of Great Spirit which embodies love for all of us."
Deer medicine also brings an increased desire to spend more time in silence and in nature, which could explain my unforgettable encounter with this beauty the other day...
this darling spoke to me big time...
butterflies bring color and joy...and symbolically, the black and yellow are colors that are often associated with the archangel Auriel, in her guise of overseeing the activities of the nature spirits. It's coming through to me as the perfect energy that will accompany me as I explore and dig deeper while working through my current River Rock series...
I've been envisioning myself spending my days knee deep in rivers with pruney fingers soaking in pure energy & joy with a smooth stone in each hand...
...and my evenings spent in my studio...releasing...with paint covered hands...
...there is no doubt, that is exactly where you will find me...
I'm looking forward to sharing this gentle, lovely journey with you...
