"Her Friends Have Wings"

"Her Friends Have Wings"

She waits for the hummingbird each morning. Sooner or later, it flutters into view to feast on her flowers. To her, it is a trusted friend stopping by for a snack.

Her friends are everywhere she looks! They are floating on the pond, gliding on currents overhead, and stalking bugs caught behind the screen. Some friends can only be seen with her inner eyes—ancestors who tended fires long ago and spirits who never took human form.

Who are we to judge? Friends can be feathered or furry, human or angelic. I think of St. Francis, other saints and bodhisattvas, who communed with animals and called them “friend”.

Let’s agree to call a friend a friend—no matter what their form.

"As She Is"

“As She Is”

What can I say? I don’t recall inviting this Messenger of Love. She just showed up on her own. I asked her if she wanted earrings. “No.” Curls? “No.” A smile on her face? “No.” She’s really very beautiful in person—subtle and soft as a cashmere sweater. Still, I kept trying to change her into someone else. In the end, she said: Take me as I am.

So I honor all men and woman who do not fit an ideal or someone else’s expectations. I honor the Authentic Self of each and every one of us. May our hearts fill with love and compassion for our own unique design.

"She Brings Spring"

Detail of “She Brings Spring”.

Spring sings outside her window. It is carried from flower to flower by the hummingbirds. It is spread north by the geese returning home. It is decorated by the wildflowers carpeting the meadow.

She brings the energy of spring that your heart might be like the open field bursting with beauty and new life.

“She Hears Spring in Her Bones”

detail

“She Hears Spring in Her Bones”. At night, it is in the crickets. At dawn, it is in the doves cooing from rooftops. She even hears the flowers growing, or so it seems to her bones.

*Homage to Hilma af Klint, an ancestor worthy of our love and admiration. This is how the visionary artist appears to me.

"She Stands in Her Power"

detail

“She Stands in Her Power and Declares Life Good”

This Messenger has little to say. I’ve asked and asked. She doesn’t communicate in words. She stands straight and tall from the moment she first arrived. I peek at her in the night. There she is on my easel. Silent. Still. Comfortable in her own skin.

She stands in her power and declares life good.

"She Sees Your Beauty"

“She Sees Your Beauty and Stops in Her Tracks”

She is amazed by the smallest things—a child playing in the street, geese flying overhead, ducks drifting in the pond. She has visited castles and shrines, temples and natural wonders, yet she is moved by the “little” things.

When someone speaks to her, she doesn’t just hear their words. She sees their beauty—the beauty that is comprised of loving thoughts and kind acts, the beauty of a soul attuned to the love of God. She even imagines that she sees the world through the eyes of God—filled with unconditional love and compassion.

When you appear before her, she sees your beauty and perfection of being. It stops her in her tracks.
