I find the this peaceful,
and low-maintenance...
I like it.
After over ten years of an incredibly intense journey as a seeker, I find myself lying fallow. Taking a rest. When I first discovered this uncomfortable fact — threat to the hamster wheel that was my spiritual rat race, I surrendered for dead, but something wouldn’t let that fact sit as truth. I was lying fallow, but this implied that after a good rest, fruit could follow. This had nothing to do with death.
I am humbled at the courage it takes to write. For many years I kept a blog read by only a handful of very supportive people, and you’d think that after sharing writing for so long with perfect strangers, writing would have gotten easier. Actually, it got harder. In fact, at one point I was so paralyzed, I just stopped writing altogether. It was just too vulnerable. There was no trust there anymore, and I attributed any courage I had had to my youthful ignorance.
However, life continues, as it inevitably does, and there is still this pang to write, and it grows stronger and strong…

Beautiful! Heading out to see the contour of our mountains against the sky right now!
ReplyDeleteI love this, Elizabeth. Thank you for letting me imagine this with you as added silhouette.
DeleteThis painting fills me with joy! Most days my walk takes me to a ridge where I stop and drink in the glory of the Three Sisters outlined against the sky. Tomorrow I will also be thinking of you and this beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteMMMMM, thank you, dear Lea. This brings such warmth to my heart. I love that I know the depths to which you can take in beauty and radiate it back out.
DeleteI love love LOVE this (way more than I can say). This is pure, spiraly yumminess. And all that color! It's magical, my friend. I so love that you are exploring/playing/tapping into your beautiful, creative brilliance. Go you! So happy you're doing this...what a gift for all of us who get to receive.
