Find your self amidst the flow and eddies in the river of life

May 28, 2014

When I arrived with painting in hand, again, the altar design was perfect for my painting, as if we had planned ahead.  The Theme was to come back to your self, and what a challenge that can be with the river of life flowing so quickly.  When I take a moment to find my self, it's as if I'm caught in an eddy to catch my breath as life continues it's frantic pace.  Yet it is the eddies that give my life meaning and moments of connection and joy.

Let your Essence out of it's confines.  The theme was "baggage"  Eva brought luggage and boxes labeled with feelings and notions that weigh us down.  She had paper and markers so we could write what our personal confines are and "release" them.  I had imagined a trunk, but the box I painted looks somewhat like a coffin, which suggests the ultimate release of one's essence....death!
