February


 Every year it happens, February arrives and I have this strong urge to connect with something about my ancestors. Above the acrylic painting on 4x4’ sheet of paper Three Generations. 

It showed up as something sad, as a unfulfilled longing. 

What if I saw it as a sign of a new beginning, spring. A sign, to gather all my gifts given to me and to step forward into the new beginning, rather then, looking in the past for an explanation.

I had yesterday an aha moment as I was listening to each other’s insights. 

Oh, so profound was for me  the realization that I want to step forward, no need to explain the past anymore but to make marks and give the onlooker the opportunity to interpret the painting, I don’t have to explain everything.

Stuck in the expected

 


Stood down by the shore 

and couldn’t go in.

No, I was not dressed in gear.

The beauty of the water was amazing, and I just stood there.

Paralyzed, looking on without moving forward.

Fog rolled in and I was nearly relieved, even though, I did have my mind made up to go back to the house and get dressed.

Feeling somewhat foggy these days, stuck, uninspired,  avoiding doing the unexpected.
