Ease, Trust, Confidence

The image of a spade came to me when someone asked me to take the shape of feeling confident and trusting. I put my hands together on my chest and I felt the shape of a spade, the inverse, if you will, of the heart. In the painting, the spade pulls up energy from below, like roots of a tree. These roots look more like jet flames and the energy suggests rocket power!

Witness

Eva's theme came in today as the witness.

I painted the dancing skirt being witnessed. The skirt is in the spot light, held with Witness' gaze, tuned with his blessings. Skirt moves gracefully, confident that her breath is leading her to a deeper place. A place unknown, but she trusts she'll be ok. After all these years of being witnessed and held in the dance, she can trust in each moment how to move or stay still, waiting to feel the inclination to move from within. She's learned to wait patiently to contract and expand. She can trust each moment. If a dancer comes along and groves with her, she can trust it is safe to drop in with another, and the moment she doesn't share the grove or feels inclined to dance away, she does. Let the evening unfold as it may. Witness confirms she has permission.


In the dance tonight, Eva led us to breathe in a blessing for our selves, and to breathe out through our skin blessings for others. Take the time and feel the blessing deep with in at the center of our core, the inner blessing of life force traveling through us.

Someone said my painting looks like a mermaid sitting with a dancer on her tale and scales coiled around her torso.
