On the Easel ~ feeling into it

It's not exactly what I was expecting. In truth, it's a bit... more.
Before I pulled out the pastels, it looked like this...

Before that, it was a whole different expression...

Each stage held the same intention, in a flip-side sort of way - a searching and finding, a claiming and re-claiming, a surrender to transformation, and the infinite ways of embodying voice and connection -
it is a practice I have to come to again and again...
maybe someday I'll step back and SEE what I feel with the journey of seeking in this way.
For now, I'll just keep feeling into it.
