🐇🐇🐇The Three Hares! Prismacolor pencils and markers on marker paper. Finished print will be 8 x 10, with written blessing.
.
The Three Hares have an ancient history- found painted on cave ceilings in China (600CE) across the Silk Road, in Europe, to the British Isles. Devon especially. Check out the Three Hare Project!
.
They are symbols of fertility, blessing, triangles, triple spirals, the triskele, fullness, full moon, the fertility, rebirth and often placed in churches opposite the Green Man. An archetypal image rich in meaning still.☘☘☘
.
This is the blessing I wrote for these three little hares: .
may that which is unified and whole
find its expression in you .
may all things moving in and out of being
be encouraged by your presence
.
may you be a source of blessing
for all that is unfolding and awakening around you
.
may you find yourself as a vast circle of light recognizing no distance or barrier
.
may the eternal dance resonate in your holy body as your voice fills the longing of the Universe .

☘Reading Anam Cara again, by John O'Donohue. Celtic Christianity has retained all the magic, wonder and reverence for the beautiful earth and all creatures that inhabit her lands, seas and the sky above. 🐄🕊🐬
As humans, we are the face of the Divine on earth. How often we forget our Divine origin, and that the trails of glory undulating and rippling out in our wake have the power to uplift, heal and transform everything around us. But only if we are present.
Rumi says: tomorrow you'll see what you've broken and torn tonight thrashing in the dark. Inside you there's an artist you don't know about.
He's not interested in how different things look in moonlight.
If you are here unfaithfully with us,
You're causing terrible damage.
If you've opened your heart to ❤The Great Love ❤
You're helping people
you don't know and will never see.
Is what I say true?
Say yes quickly.
If you know,
you've known it
from the beginning of the universe.🕊 Well, we are here, now. ❤
The gift of a lifetime is ours,🎁
Just waiting to be opened...

Send me your address and I can send you over an invoice.❤

When The Muse takes over. It is on Her terms for sure. Needed to do a portrait for Creative Arts Art Show. Who better than Dali!🎨
.
Didn't anticipate staying up until midnight to get this painted. It's acrylic on canvas, 9 x 12. I haven't painted for years. And yet...here he is.
.
For me, Dali is a great example of living into the Soul, those daring and beautiful and fully expressed humans who place the seriousness of the Soul over any personal agenda. I think in handing over the reins, they agree to life as an adventure, as a calling - and they, (as a personality) try to stay out of the way. Which is a paradox in itself. .
They know the game involves saying 'yes', it really is the first rule of Life, as well as of improv.👏 Saying yes allows the show to go on, - just say 'no' in an improv performance- and watch the action fizzle out.👎
.
My message from Dali, as I spent time with him over the evening, was to be braver. ❤To listen to my heart, my Muse, the Soul, that very often has an entirely different agenda than I do.
And what's wrong with that? Don't I long for newness, the experience of being alive? Somethimg that challenges and excited me? Hell yah. C,mon, who doesn't want to be a daring and beautiful and fully expressed human?
Damn those torpedoes already
