Trust Myself

I didn't have time to paint on Wednesday, so I offered to bring a painting from "stock".  My teacher wrote back, "Bring what you have.. One big one would be great. The Hierophant... The one who walks the mystical path with practical feet."
I looked at paintings from years back, and selected two that struck me as hierophants.  When I parked the car at dance, I hesitated bringing both paintings in, as I was supposed to bring only one, but I figured since I them I'll take both in.  As always, it was uncanny, Kathleen had created a beautiful Altar set up ideally for two paintings!

The one on the left is,
"Dial a new attitude"
The one on the right is
 "The one who walks the mystical path with practical feet, 
always tethered to the center of the earth for grounding and sustenance" 


Listening
               To myself, and
To my surroundings,
To the song that rises from this moment
   in which I am contained -

These dances rise up inside of me
    and spin out beneath me,
And it's as if I stand back, inside myself
               and observe....

Available to constant flow and change,
I can balance
                   at the edge of the unknown,
               and experience fearlessness.
