May 2020
Spring is finally becoming a reality out here at the lake. I have had a series of feathered friends flying into the windows of my front porch. First a female cardinal flew against the window as her male companion looked on. After she left, a male robin repeatedly collided with the glass. When he finally left 3 weeks later, I breathed a sigh of relief, but this morning a little sparrow took his place. Even my cats staring at them isn’t enough to scare them away… So, of course, I thought about how these actions relate to what is happening in the world right now. An unprecedented event in my lifetime anyway. Are we all just beating our heads against the wall trying to return to a normal that no longer exists and should not be returned to anyway? Spirit is calling to us to change our habits and ways of life that no longer serve us or the planet. Will we listen?
Over the past few months several Goddesses/Angels have come to me in dreams and visions, all of whom I have painted as directed by them. This first week of May which is celebrated by many cultures as Beltane, a time for planting seeds and the ripening of trees and flowers, brought forth Gaia to me. She symbolizes Mother Earth and brings forth abundance in nature. We must take care of our planet and honor Gaia and all the wonderful things she freely gives us.
