The Butterfly Series

As I painted, I discovered that each image had a voice of its own. They not only named themselves, but had their own individual message. I am ready to share a few of them with the world.

Briar Rose
Sleeping Beauty’s
Secret sleep
Within
The thorns
Of
Darkness.
Quiet Slumber
Of the
Feminine.
Angelic Guardians
Keeping Watch.
Protecting
True Love's Kiss.
Awakened.
Her dreamy
Existence
Is
Shattered.
She is Awake.
Dark Side of the Moon
Deep within its luminous glow
Lies the feminine.
The moon.
Balancing the Sun’s
Existence.
The masculine.
Asleep.
Mass consciousness
Preparing for her return.
To be
Seated as an equal.
She is patient.
Ready.
Awake.
Coming into
Full
Awareness
Within the Heart
Of all
Humanity.

Tootie Fruitie
Delicious…Succulent…Juicy…
Mother Earths’ fruit.
Vine ripened.
Tree ripened.
Sun ripened.
Natures’
Gift.
Joyful taste buds
Rejoicing.
Bursts of flavors
Dancing
In the
Awareness
Of all the Universe
In every
Bite.
Yum!!!!!
Hearts and Flowers
As my heart beats to the rhythm
Of unconditional Love,
A spiritual flower begins to take root
And begins to grow in the consciousness of my soul.
An inner knowing of whom
I truly am.
An inner knowing that I am one
Within
An all inclusive
And
Loving Universe.
An inner knowing that
I am one with love.
An inner knowing…
I am that I am.

Purple Passion
I am
Sacredness.
I am pure.
I am the crown
Where awareness
Blooms.
My spiritual thirst
Quenches
My desire
For
Truth.
I am filled
With the Passion
Embedded
In
The Sacredness
Of
The
Divine.
Ring Around The Rosie
In the center of her being
A rose is hidden
Deep within
Her soul.
Surrounding her
Inner Spirit
Is Beauty’s secret.
A secret that is
Stirring within the heart
Of humanity.
Her inner spirit
Is smiling.
Her time has come!

Unity
A Circle of Light & Love.
An unbroken
Ring of color
Surrounding the spectrum
Of
Universal Truth.
It’s core.
A rainbow,
A coalition connected.
One Heart.
One Mind.
One Being.
One.
Celtic Cross
Hidden within my stones,
Are secrets of
Ancient rituals.
Celtic rings of magic
Embedded in my
Emerald Isle
Of
Green.
Sacred paths.
Sacred walks
Driven
Deep within
The consciousness
Of my heart…
Surrounded
With
Sacred light.
Heart beats of my soul.
Waiting…Waiting…Waiting…
To awaken.
To once again
Walk the path of
Truth.

This is the Season
This is the season under heaven
To explore the division
In my soul,
And mend the duality within my identity.

A time to Heal;
A time to Dance;
A time to Love.
A time to Embrace
The truth of who I am.
A time of Peace
and
A time of Oneness.

There is a Season
To every thing there is a season,
And a time to every purpose under heaven;
A time to be born, a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to reap;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
Atime to mourn and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Atime to rend and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war and a time of peace."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Zig Zag
It’s an illusion that
I zig and I zag.
When in reality
I am standing still
In the
Wholeness
Of God.
Standing in the Silence,
I become aware
That I have never left
Perfection.
I
Smile!
Blue Bird
Hidden within my stones,
Are secrets of
Ancient rituals.
Celtic rings of magic
Embedded in my
Emerald Isle
Of
Green.
Sacred paths.
Sacred walks
Driven
Deep within
The consciousness
Of my heart…
Surrounded

Card Shark
My ego is a card shark.
The master of illusion
and
slight of hand.
He plays the trickster
at every turn.
Leading me to
Believe
His version of the game of life is fair.
I must stay awake & aware.
I must look deep within my soul
For the voice that whispers
The truth
And
Dissolves
The Madness
Of my Ego.
My Inner Circle
I surround
Myself
With
Faith,
Hope,
and Love,
Creating a cocoon
To incubate
My Higher Self
And
Nurture my Soul.
A safe haven to transform
My humanity
Back into Spirit.

Star Waves
Cosmic motion,
Waves of emotion
Flowing through the Universe.
Every star is touched
By the majesty
of Divine Thought.
Magic is created.
A
Star
Is
Born.

Paint by Number
Painting each square
One by one,
I connect them
Through the magic
Of pigment.
The blending of colors,
Soft hues.
Joining together a sequence,
To create a
Sense of order
in the seaming
Chaos of Life.
