to paint...
we are to
simply
courageously
show up
and have a
conversation
with our
soul
on canvas.
it is so
mystical and holy
this
conversation.
morning
after
morning
being willing to sing out
fiercely
without judgment
or reproach.
being willing to reveal our
hearts,
to listen, to
watch
sacred unfold.
the challenge;
to allow
our conversation to be so authentic,
so unabashed and passionate
that the "touchstone";
this skin canvas of our heart,
becomes a song that is
holy
ours,
layer by layer.
morning prayers
each unique voice a painting in progress,
a song of blooming
from the women in the courtyard of san miguel.
Rebecca, I can't tell you how much I LOVE this post. It has caught me at just the right moment in my life. I have paints on my desk waiting for just this sort of attention and hands aching to get dirty. The fruits of your inspiration will be posted in the next couple of days.
Love,
Annie

Thise colours would be enough to make me happy in the morning! So summery and bright. Though when I read your title I at first read 'morning papers!' x

I'm so into pink these days -- both pale and hot -- and loved seeing it here on your gorgeous blog.

So beautiful these prayers, these songs of the soul... I want to drape myself, loose myself in each one...

The JOY of this post and images makes the heart dance! For over a year I've been on a creative journey of the heart, where painting features largely... I come home to myself every time I meet the canvas. :o) Thank you for this loving gift today, Rebecca ((HUGS))
