  5. Hi Kim, thanks for the assistance through the fires :)

    Thanks Bob, the images are acrylic paintings on gesso covered book pages.

    Thank you Cat. I try to do as you describe. There is a period of each day, however, during the morning hours, that my physical experience envelopes me. It is all, and all I can do is endure it. I was reflecting on that and the words reflected back at me in the day's newspaper headlines.

    Hi Patti, well not literal - I don't have flames shooting up all around me!!
    The blue is a lotus beginning it's blooming in the background. I painted it first, then the legs and feet, then the flames, overlaying each on top of the other.
    These represent, for me, that there is first the foundation of what truly is,
    then there is the physical form,
    then there is the physical experience.
    On a day like yesterday, the physical experience buries the truth of what is, but it's my job to remember that it is always there - that place of universal truth, connectedness with the greater oneness, release from the illusion of pain. I didn't experience that place yesterday, but in my heart I knew it was there.

  9. Sometimes I'm amazed at how clearly your art pages speak. They make me realize I've not often felt the kind of pain you seem to deal with on a daily basis.

    Feel well, Karin!
