It
held a promise of life anew that I believed would be delivered pronto. I
believed my work was done and rewards were there for
the basking. Perhaps in No Time this is exactly True. But, my oh my, the years
went by and deeper I was forced to go. Joyful? Ha, hardly ever! For there have
been layers, years, cycles and patterns… Programs, bloodlines, and past lives to see, to acknowledge, to
experience, to heal. And self-love! Oh yes, ultimately to know, really know and
embody self-love.
I really had so little understanding of the power
of a woman’s body… the miracles it is capable of, the powers of creation that
include giving birth to life in many, many forms.
Ariadne beckoned me to these teachings; womb
wisdom, women’s wisdom and I’ve been in awe ever since. She really sums up the
purpose behind all of my artistry… that which has compelled me to paint… the
offering of ‘healing, hope, and empowerment for the feminine soul ~ the heart
of the world that has been suppressed in each of us, but is now re-awakening
and emerging as a powerful force of love and wisdom.’
Ariadne ultimately speaks of discovering the
power of life, of creation… it swirls within, dipped in gold. The seeds of new
life rooted; dreams, and stars, and galaxies arrive at last in our wakening. We
have only to find the courage to lift the veils and gaze into the beyond to see
what has been kept hidden, to acknowledge and embrace the truth that so many
things we, as women, have been led to believe are ‘bad’ is actually our ‘gold’.
May we alchemize our life, our bodies to live and be our truth and our power!
Ariadne
Call
me Ariadne, she whispered
in
the silent waiting
with
my heart still thumping
from
Her immensity
and
presence.
Give
me wings!
Give
me wings!
Give
me wings!
She
exclaimed
I
must have wings!
Cosmic…
angelic… regal…
Talisman
for ages and women
past,
present, and future.
She’s
the rose, the womb,
the
stars, the galaxies seeded.
She’s
our sustenance
our
power, our force.
She’s
all woman
She’s
all women
for
us who have forgotten
what
lies within us
to
be charged and ignited
into form… into life.
