Now the woman knew why she kept dreaming of him kissing her. And she felt at peace..
And also she had great faith of the warm healing power of the sun. But the sun would only reach inside her heart if she willingly let the pain break the thick shell around it.
And so she felt strong to face what had to come, while holding their sacred space of togehterness safe in her heart....
Tattoo Love
I could do many many posts on tattoos. For many many reasons. I think i will do more than this one actually, because in my photo archive wich I have on pinterest is full of tattoo pictures i would like to share here. I have been collecting them because they inspire me for many many reasons.
One of the reasons is i draw inspiration from them when I paint. But that’s not the only reason I love them, i have been dreaming about getting myself. Until now i have none, I have been to scared of the pain! But oooh how would like to have a tattoo. This desire getting stronger by the day..
So i am doing this posts also to make my mind up and to be able to make a choice when the moment comes that I will take the leap. These pictures hold inspiring placements of tattoos for me. And also i like the incredible drawing simplicity of a them....
Maybe i will have a tattoo like one of these, a funny one?
Or more sexy in rockstar-style???
Or maybe a tribal one like Nahnko Bear from Medicine for the people?
Or my own design???
So many possibilities :-)
These pictures all come from my album with tattoos, on my Pinterest, so if you would like to know each one of their sources you can check it out in my Pinterest..

Today we had two lovely sisters to visit us.
This course means a very very whole lot to me, i just know i will be amazed and will spiritually grow by her teachings. I always do. And now it's going to be linked to something very important to me, painting! So my little altar represents and more it evokes all that is important to me right now. Energies I want to draw into in the paintings I will create during my Visual Quest course. Love is a big one, the energy that fills my heart in a big way since Oktober last year. And then my great grandmother, she is on the picture, she is with me as a guide right now. I can feel her warm soothing presence around me, which helps me so much. And the feathers i got from a special overseas friend. They come from her own birds, she gathered them for me in her garden. I use them to wave away negative energies and to cleans a room or a person with sage or incense. And my small collection of special stones and crystals, that hold special energy for me. My altar feels complete right now..YES, I am ready to go :-)

The woman asked, please tell us of pain.
And he said;
Much of your pain is self-chosen, by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. So you could keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy.
So the woman knew, that's why she kept dreaming of him kissing her.

My palette is my table <♥>my table is my palette
Today feeling a bit nostalgia...
Leftovers of memories.....warm summer evenings on my balcony
Life can only be understood backwards; Though it must be lived forwards.

Todays' music for me..
This morning i woke up as ridiculously early as i usually do. But the silence was overwhelming, because these guys were all not there.
♥Bliss as in days filled with dinosaur talk, shark quizzes, water snake searches and crocodile hunts...
♥And bliss for us moms, with days filled with talk of life and friendship and off course of love...and a little of work as well..but only as in ART-work....
And right there on the beach with our feet in the delicioulsy hot sand we unanimously agreed upon one ‘truth of life’
And right there on the beach with our feet in the delicioulsy hot sand we unanimously agreed upon one ‘truth of life’
YEY!!!!!
Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.
It is and was a Delight to be togehter again..Thank you dear Claudette♥

Meanwhile us girls were 'gathering objects’ on the beach with only one purpose...To re-purpose :-)
So under the tree in the shade....We 'girls' create new objects to pleasure our ourselves and decorate the guys with...It's sheer magic what one create with just a few sticks, rope, feathers and an union net...with kids like this we can easily survive if we were to be the last people on earth, right?
Us girls 'creating & gathering', them guys hunting for crocodlies, hmmmmmm...how tradizionale!
Brilliant!

Do I know you? do I know you ? do I know you?
Effortless I am in your arms
A tender membrane covers me while you hold me
A void filled with us creating emptiness
Where are we going in this world without space
Where gravity doesn’t exist
You know....THAT place? Where there are no lines
Where it feels like it is....
Anything can become everything
That’s where I want to be

Another Super Summer day...
The gang of four looking for adventures
While their moms are sitting under the tree chitchating :-)

A chamanic drum at my feet..Hmmm whish it was my drum...
My dear friend and her son....
'The gang', after their adventures...
Ice cream and off to bed...
