Desire

When my husband got ill, I knew it was important for him to know that I was with him and that I would not abandon him.
Now that he is no longer here, I still experience my desire for intimacy and companionship.
If I’m not careful, it feels like a great loss, like being torn.
Today I decide to turn that feeling around.
I put a hand on my heart and let myself know that I feel myself, that I am close to me and enjoy myself.
I see you, I feel you, I am with you.

Inside the cave

Perhaps the greatest power we have at our disposal
is intention.
We can embody her
every time a bit more
by knowing what we want
and sensing how it feels
when we live these desires.
This will bring what we yearn for
a little closer.

For me always
the higher values
want to express themsellves.
That’s just the way it is.

Intimacy
Companionship
Fulfillment
Peace
Freedom

May the atmosphere
of this painting inside a cave
give us the space
to awaken our deepest desires
and may we live the fulfillment of them.

May peace on earth
come closer.

Postcards from the Cosmos

   

     

Letting paint flow over watercolor paper brings me a lot of innovation.
I learn that for me at this moment it is not about making beautiful paintings, but about expressing that creation itself is beauty.
I’m so happy when these “Postcards of the Cosmos” show some of this.
