But often I resist and then always regret it. This
year I've been in a process of letting go of regrets, and so, I immersed myself
into the abyss.
The poem that came through with this painting really
tells of my experience of being in that emptiness and how the allowing of it
flowed into this painting.

Twin Flame
Teacher…
it says, offering
the
Golden Chalice.
Teacher
of what, I ask
in
the silence.
More
silence deafens.
The
time of emptiness, upon me
once
again.
Do
I fight it over and over?
No,
I must listen, this time
immerse
myself I will, a
promise
ignored, finally fulfilled.
Resting…
Resisting
the moments of restlessness, and
filling
them with doingness.
Even
painting seemed daunting, a brush
too
heavy to pick up, a canvas
too
filled with promises to engage in just yet.
Days
upon days in an empty mind, gazing
into
reflections of eyes wherever my head turns, speak
I
say, but still the silence echoes.
One
week into two into three, I discover
life
pulses so fast I have become blind, to Truth
that
is mine to savour, the beauty
in
the pauses, the slow deep breaths, where
my
eyes linger and my ears dance.
Something
begins to fill me, as I
cast
aside the noise of the world, then slowly
I
come back, a little at a time, to a deeper
Knowing
that this something, is I.
The
Divine I Am, that is
both
and all of everything, the particles
coming
together in breath, and sound
that
tones and vibrates out, in
ripples
and waves, touching
the
unseen and unknown.
So,
I surrendered and into the music, I found
an
ease and flow onto the canvas, it felt
so
perfect.
I
was transported into the strokes, following
its
lead without thought, an
ease
moved through the brush, inside
and
out.
In
the altered spaces, the painting
revealed
patterns within me, lead
transformed
into gold, magical
new
love, new life born, from
the
empty space… the deep dark womb, the
Star
dust.
Teacher
of what, I ask
again
You
know, it responds
with
a nod, the
Golden
Chalice once more offered.
A
little hidden yet perfectly visible.
