Gaia ~ Planet Earth

Something beautiful and uplifting for a chilly, cloudy Friday.

The Secret ~ Planet Earth

As each day passes my  art work area gets messier.  So today, I decided to clean and rearrange everything and now all of  my acrylic paint tubes and brushes are in their proper places and everything is ready to go.

I have two paintings I need to finish so they can be hung in a local shop and I know I should be working on them, but there are other things that need to be done.

Meanwhile, outside my window clouds are gathering and the promise of rain is in the air.

Before I go I will leave you with this poem by David Whyte;

Sweet Darkness

When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.

When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.

There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.

The dark will be your womb
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.

You must learn one thing:
the world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn

anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

“Everyday Goddessing  is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside  each of us.” – Rose Arizmendi
