Dancing in the cosmos; acrylic on canvas; July 17, 2023
I’m writing this on a day that is wrapped in a lot of emotions. A complicated day with a lot of happenings and people connections, and a host of complicated emotions.
One of the key, important memories for this day, is that it is my mom’s birthday. She passed ~ 2 1/2 years ago after a hard bout with covid.
During the period of raw grief and lots of connections of healing, a number of people would tell me, ‘your mom is right there, next to you’; they were sensing or seeing her energy and presence around me. For as much as I engage with the energetic and spiritual world, I couldn’t see or sense anything. But yet, the comments persisted.
So, I reached out to a medium I know and we set a time to connect to mom. But before we could meet, the medium contacted me with a couple of questions and then said, “I think I have a message for you now from your mom.”
That message was profoundly healing.
It could have only come from my mom.
My scientific, analytical, left-brain can not understand this. But my connected, intuitive, heart-based right-brain doesn’t need to understand it. It just accepts it.
While looking for an image for this newsletter, this painting of ‘dancing in the cosmos’ caught my attention. To me it speaks to the vastness of beyond and the vastness of what I can’t even begin to understand.
But it also speaks to me of the vastness of love, light, and connection. While I can’t understand those either, I can certainly feel and experience them.
That message was profoundly healing. Love knows.
