The past few days have been challenging for me. I've been grieving paths I didn't take, paths I couldn't take. I've been feeling frustration at stuck systems. Yet each morning I have the peaceful mercy of painting. And all the while working away on this painting/commission has been a reprieve and refuge from my worries and regrets. I received such a beautiful prayer request with this painting; "Toremember that nothing is wrong with this present moment. That I am safe and resourced, whole and expansive, connected. That you and all beings would feel safe, whole and connected." I urge you to spend one breath, one moment, one hour, one day reflecting on 'Nothing is wrong with this present moment.' and see how your life is transformed before you. To see that the path that is unfolding before you is in fact more beautiful than you could have imagined.
