Show Me

When I dare to be powerful.. to use my strength in the service of my vision.. then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

Audre Lord

Show me is an image I painted it in a bout of intuitive painting that lasted a few years and taught me a lot. It was in 2011, in the early years following my being spit out of the mainstream livelihood opportunity when my perspective and values ran out of air and my inner being ran out of strength to continue.

I wasn’t pregnant at the time, but I was the mother of two and they were in their final years at home. There were a number of young mothers or women who were preparing to become mothers in my social circle, and also a lot of people in the work of remaking themselves to live here in the plane differently.

This painting depicts something in the belly that is gestating in preparation for birth, whether it be a baby, an idea, or the self again. It acknowledges that life happens in a spectrum of light and colour, going around a spiral into the unknown.

It affirms attention and intuition as we embrace our lives and step into it without over-thinking or controlling it.

Show me is a surrender to all that is good and loving and beautiful for the life within. It takes a load off, to me; activating a returning to instinct, intuition and faith in outcomes of great loving potential.

Blessings for your day! I, for one, am feeling much relief today after a very tense transit. I hope you can feel it too. ~p
