Reaching Out, Reaching In

I worked on this Prayer Painting live last night, in an online meet-up with the Sacred Art of Women group I host.

I must confess it was a bit strange to be witnessed in real time for my process... strange for about 2 minutes. The collective energy of this group is so strong, so wise and feminine and graceful... that I could palpably feel it comforting me through the technology that made it possible for women around the globe to come together for a creative gathering to share our time, energy, prayers, thoughts, insights, and creativity.

I forgot about the camera pretty quick and the time FLEW by!

This canvas-in-progress is a temporary altar of sorts for me for this season of my life. I shared more about that right HERE. It is a different dance to intentionally come back to a piece over time, with stretches of experience and life in between the moments of touching the piece. It is a dance I am appreciating deeply right now... one with space, and a richness to the unfolding that is about the slow-cooking of mystery and commitment and the power of choosing a practice.

Today, I move back into creation behind the scenes...
