i am not sure where one begins forming words
to paint so dream bright
our profound journey.
each
soul
excavation,
primal layers of stretching beyond ourselves,
ultimately calling us out into bold
unfolding.
of unrestrained creativity where
brave hearts
burst open
in the perfect salutation of
love.
each person
unfurled in great
willingness.
old judgements,
standing witness to freedom beyond restraint,
to find our wild sacred pulse
firmly established
in a lush
creative life.
each new day
beckoned us
softly, wisely, profoundly;
to peer over the edge of our limitations,
to brilliantly throw open the doors
and find our authentic voice
established firmly in
infinite possibility.
enormous canvas, brave encouragement.
each moment a new opportunity to
bloom true.
dear flora,
"I found our Bloom True week in San Miguel together,
miraculous.
thank you beyond measure for the work you are doing in this world.
If any one thinks it is "all" about painting......
i can't wait until they experience
their own bright epiphany under your encouraging wing
and become one more bold bloom
in the matrix of
pure soul."
love,
rebecca

~~to peer over
the edge
of one's limitations~~

of THAT!

Don't you think that Paradise must be painted in these colors? It makes me smile and happy to see this burst of joy that to me represents a gift from the Universe, a reflection of the soul that inhabits the hands that bring this forth.
Thank you, love. I too hope for what you told me, soon, very soon would make me so happy. With oysters.

It is beautiful the colors and subject matter and the expression of freedom that Flora has allowed you bring into our world. Flora's art is the expression of pure J O Y!

Does Flora know what a special friend she has in you? I am sure she does. You brightened Flora's world, and she yours and others. It is miraculous that you were able to have this beautiful week painting, making new friends, experimenting, savoring, all before your surgery.
Your prose sings praises to your new friend! Your photos show us every fingerprint, dot and dash, which created a unique piece.
I hope you are building up your strength for you must be very eager to paint and get messy all over! smiles: sharon

Thank goodness for your bright intuition, your wild courage and your big LOVE. It was brought all of us together, in that beautiful place, for that extraordinary experience.
It all feels so out of time now... like did it really happen?
Feeling so lucky to have had that time with you and with that special constellation of women.
love you Rebecca,
