From the stars, on a mountain, with the bears, my beads…and paint.
Good-Bad. Hot-Cold. Male-Female.
What would our world be like if we stopped judging?
At 40, we embarked on parenthood. The gravity of raising a man in this world felt enormous. I was brought up in a catholic family. There were plenty of things I didn’t like about the church / patriarchy / empire, BUT, there was the incense I adored, the sounds, the rituals. My grandmother and family were PART of the church. In my 20s I started my life-long search of world religions. I needed to find a new way of devotion. I wanted to know how to SERVE THE DIVINE.
In my 50s I found a group THE WAY OF THE ROSE. With these people who understand me I am relieved to honor our Mother and pray the rosary in an animist feral way.
One of the prayers in the rosary is the Our Father. I couldn’t bring myself to say these words so I found an alternate prayer, Our Great Grandfather Who Art the Sun felt ok to me. From here I began thinking about the Divine Masculine so I created a fibre Great Grandfather doll. Fascinated with gender talks and looking around myself I realize that the Divine Masculine is REAL. My deep soul writing teacher Janet Conner asked me to paint a portrait of Archangel Luci and I did. Next came Archangel Michael, he showed himself to me, then spoke thru my writing of collaboration, honoring each other, creativity, working WITH instead of fighting against. I am thrilled to imagine a world in the age of Aquarius. Imagine collaboration, co-creation, creativity, peace.
