Friends.
This one is called “Choices” (a mix of acryling, metallic, and spray paint along with a photo of my arm, HA!), something I’ve been working on during this season of life that is filled with curveballs and rogue waves and grief.
So.
Much.
Grief.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned over the last few years of my own healing journey is that I always have a choice as to how I view the circumstances that come into my life.
Right?
Because I can …
(1) View them through a lens of fear and judgement and self-condemnation …
Why is this always happening to me?
I’m never gonna get through this.
I can’t do anything right.
My life is so messed up.
OR.
(2) I can view them through a lens of love and hope and self-compassion …
My life isn’t difficult, this is just a difficult season.
Good things happen to me all the time – this moment doesn’t erase the others.
I will get through this, just like I got through the last one.
I messed up, but I learned.
… like the painting shows, even if I fall into a pit of despair – I can always begin again, I can always pull the zipper down on what seems to be darkness (which, as the colors show on the black background, isn’t [maybe?] always quite as scary as it seems) and let in a light, fresh perspective from the voice of my true Self.
Yes.
Just as the Divine once spoke into the void back in Genesis 1, so my true Self can speak into the void of my deepest hurts and most confusing times to bring about light, newness, and life.
Amen?
Amen.
(Easier said/painted than done, I know.)
And so here’s to choosing to let some light into the moments that feel so dark, and calling upon the perspective of our true Self – may we hear the whispers of its voice over the screams of the world around us and the wailing of our tired hearts.
This one is $250 in the ART STUDIO, but I’m happy to take whatever you can/want to offer - even $0, no counter offers will be made. Tell me you want it and it’ll be in the mail next week.
Much love.
