Blue Dream, 48"x 60", acrylic on canvas
She has been a long time coming, and I have been waiting for her. The little girl is becoming a woman of Spirit. She journeys deep into the watery realms, deep into the Earth, deep into the wounded feminine, deep into the heavens and deep into the void. Now I sit at the portal awaiting my mystery ride. Moon, be my companion along the way, and protect me in these dark jungle depths. Leopard, hold the space of integrity for me in the world I know while I journey into unfamiliar, unforgotten realms. My emotions are falling like water.

Blue Empress, 30"x 40", acrylic on canvas
The Empress sits in the garden. Everything happens because she sits. She knows being is more and doing is less. She used to be afraid like the Rabbit, to sit and be still with nothing to do because thoughts overtook her mind. The things yet to come, and regrets of the past distracted her from the now. The gift of the Empress is to be fully present. Everything else must fall away.
I sit in the garden between two worlds I know and love, the garden of my past and the landscape of the present. I sit to create my future, and my friend the moon will light the way.

Blue Emergence, 30"x 36", acrylic on canvas
While sitting in the garden, my friend the moon sends me white butterflies as symbols of the never ending cycle of transformation. I want to be the butterfly, and have wings to fly. But first, I enter the cocoon and wait to be born to the Earth. I will develop courage within the cocoon to use my new wings at birth. Courage comes from the heart, the heart of the cocoon. My heart is heavy from lifetimes of bittersweet journeys. I yearn to celebrate life on Earth without pain. I pray for wings with which to soar above suffering, and settle again on Mother Earth’s lap.

Blue Tears, 32"x 32", acrylic on canvas
I am born of Earth, yet in this moment the ground feels foreign. I smell the sage vaporizing from the high desert floor. I feel the sun penetrating my heart. Crows call to me from above. My reflection mirrors my grief as I taste the salty tears on my lips. I am one with the Earth, with all her beauty, joy, pain and sorrow. I want to fly away, but my heart is too heavy now for wings. I am here in the desert with my shadow and the Lizard crying a pool of tears. What is this pain that follows me wherever I go? Lizard, take me into the shadow of my reflection that I might see where my dreams live. I need to know whether I am dreaming or if I am the dream.

Blue Fantasy, 30"x 40", acrylic on canvas
I come to the sea to soothe my soul with the simple ebb and flow of the waters of time. I have forgotten all the answers I need to survive and grow. I am becoming the mermaid, and I long to live in this fantasy. The sea of emotion calls me from these jagged rocks to enter the watery world of feeling, to swim with the Whales, the great record keepers of all time. I will find my answers in this ocean of silence. The song of the Whale is the lullaby that rocks me into remembering the power of my chosen destiny.

Blue Lotus, 30"x 36", acrylic on canvas
I have returned to the river of life. I sit in the river of emotion as it flows around me, but I am grounded and supported by Mother Earth. My earthly illusions are shattering as I allow my own water to flow. Now I know that things are not quite what they seem, and it is time to call my power back. Dragonfly, take me inside to where magic is alive and well. Guide me in my meditations through the mists of illusion and bring me visions of gentle power. Revive me with your magnetic energy and color as you go dancing by. The sweet serenity of the lotus calms my soul as we drift down this river of magic.

Blue Surrender, 24"x 36", acrylic on canvas
Surrender is my mantra now. I let go into the calm waters of compassion, and float peacefully in the now. The arms of the great Mother ocean wrap me in her warm and safe embrace. My rough edges are softening. I am morphing into a sea creature of feeling. The healing waters blanket me with protection like the Turtle with his shell. The shadow of my old sorrow melts away exposing a long forgotten Goddess from another time and place. I will not forget this when I return to land. I will ground myself in gratitude, and cultivate compassion for the lost Goddess in us all.

Blue Ritual, 30"x 36", acrylic on canvas
The warm aqua waters have brought me healing, and cooled the flame of my emotions. It is time to light a new fire that will not drown in sorrow. I seek the burning heat that ignites a new fire in my belly. I celebrate with dancing, laughter and foolishness. I howl at the moon with my Coyote trickster companions who must be laughing at my nakedness. I am unleashing my wildness. I sense the cosmic joke, and see Gods eternal smile. I consciously cultivate joy. My burdens will soon be ashes, and I will become a light being.

Blue Kundalini, 24"x 48", acrylic on canvas
The fire medicine has brought healing and transmutation like the Snake shedding its skin. Dying to my old self, I allow the fire energy, the kundalini, to spiral up my spine with passion, desire and power. I move towards wholeness, retrieving all the lost parts of my self, embracing awareness and shedding resistance. I am a being of the Universe. The Snake can no longer deceive me, but dances with me to the rhythms of life. We are lovers in a sensual dance. We are the door to Divine energy floating up and down a heavenly scented path of roses.

Blue Ascension, 30"x 48", acrylic on canvas
The kundalini rising has set me free. I have found my wings, and glide effortlessly above the Earth into expanded vision. I was blind, but now I see. I share the peace of the pure white Dove, knowing I can return forever to this bliss. In this place I am always alive. I will carry this bliss close to my heart when I return to Earth.
