postcards from paradise come away with us

 

 

don't ask yourself what the world needs;

ask yourself what makes you come alive.

and then go and do that.

because what the world needs is people

who have come alive.

bloom true

flora opened a door within me

wild sacred mark making

passionate trust

 

mindful unfurling;

 

walking on water;

flying while standing on solid ground.

bloom true with flora bowley

i continue to fall smitten down the rabbit hole of

paint. canvas. trust. allowing.

the realness of this,

beguiling as sirens calling me out into the 

careening tides of alluring colours, waves of freedom,

wild seas of discovery.

it is at once braille, opera, epiphany and crucifixion,

mysterious, fleeting...

so compelling i willingly freefall from the shoreline of familiar

 into the deep reverie of soul.

somewhere between the canvas and paint

there is chemistry

connection

transcendence

an honest unfurling where hands and soul 

bravely sing in the realm of absolute freedom.

giving oneself

to the unlimited world of courageous expression,

is at once dreaming and awakening;

brave intuitive living.

Here Now with flora bowley

 

"deep within you is everything that is perfect

ready to radiate through you

and out into the world."

course of miracles

 

 

"just move one step in the direction of your souls longing. 

do not worry about where it leads.

don't try to imagine the specifics of what you will eventually create,

it will come."

ann o'shaughnessy

 

 

"I am never afraid of the blank canvas,

since each one begins with a dance gesture on the canvas,

and that determines the feeling and direction the painting will take.

It is a conversation, a dialogue in which the painting tells me what it needs next.

I listen and dance with it."

 

jenny hunter groat

 

 

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening

That is translated through you into action,
And, because there is ONLY ONE OF YOU in all time,
This expression is unique.
And, if you block it,
It will never exist through any other medium

And, be lost.
The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is:
Nor how valuable it is: nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly,
To keep the channel open.”

 Martha Graham 

"i do not paint to express myself, but rather, 

to maintain contact with something far greater than myself.

i follow a life thread, from work to work

and never know where it will lead me."

jenny hunter grout

 

“Don’t ask what the world needs.

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

–Howard Thurman

 

 

 

"You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition.

What you'll discover will be wonderful.

What you'll discover is yourself."

Alan Alda

 

 

"we are cups,

constantly and quietly being filled. 

the trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the

beautiful stuff out."

ray bradbury

 

 

"Your work is to discover your world 

and then with all your heart

give yourself to it."

Buddha

 

 

 

once more i have been deeply honored to host flora bowley's   

bloom true san miguel de allende .

a lovely nest of women from all corners of the world arrived with 

hopes, expectations and mysteries to discover.

each day we began in the heart circle where flora welcomed us to

love fiercely,

live our dreams out loud, renew, let go,

create boldly.

the week was

 as much an unraveling as a shoring up.

being present, moving through layers of resistance

discovering that sweet spot of pure expression,

falling out of trust and making our way back again;

over and over.

loving oneself enough to

embrace it all.

love

stands central to all possibilities.

creativity, growth, willingness, courage, honesty, healing, expression,

everything;

so we paint, we paint to love.

thank you flora

for your heart crushing beauty,

for opening doors we had not yet discovered in ourselves

and pouring in the light of possibilities.

thank you bloomers for sharing the dream.

xoxoxooxo,

rebecca
