Yesterday i had a break-through in finishing this painting. The painting felt stuck for a while. I layered over layer to get into the heart of it, but it failed to work for days.. And there it was suddenly flowing again.. No reason what caused it externally. And today it has flown into be finished :-) It's a painting with many layers, with many truths, with many intentions and thus with many stories.. It's original reason for me to paint it has turned into another. This one is about my first shamanic journey. It's not about the energy of someone else.
It’s become about my own energy...
I feel happy when looking at it....Not just for the visual way it turned out but for the energy i know is in there, between all the layers.

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.

Kahlil Gibran On Marriage and relationships
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
This is Kahlil Gibran’s poetic take on what a relationship between a man and a woman should be about. I agree with these words a 100%. I feel like I am on a journey to discover ‘the how’ to accomplish to be in and stay in this state of mind. In short: a man came back into my life, his energy shot me right in the heart (again), the shutters of my heart blew wide open, and when the exhilarating love energy clouded my vision i kind of felt i had lost a part of myself (again). And now that i'm back I don't want to disolve my whole being in that magnatical love anymore but i do want to keep on feeling it's magic in every cell of my body. How?!!!!???!!
While getting acquainted with Pixie Campbell’s sacred grit tv and her blog I was very happy to discover she shared so much more of her shamanic powerful wisdom with all of us. Like for example in her 7 journeys’ souLodge spreecast’s. I have started to watch them one by one, they fill me with inspiration I did not feel for a long time. Which filles me with hope and optimism while I slowly come out of a long and difficult walk through my own muddy shadow lands. Finding these treasures of wise words by Pixie and her wise friends is just what I needed. This Kahlil Gibran poem comes from a blog that i found after listening to Pixie’s talk on Spreecast with StephanieAnderson Ladd. It comes from her blog where she writes more wise words on relationships. Reading Stephanie Anderson’s blog I feel like again I found a role model to learn from. Another 'wise woman' who's words can help me in my own personal quest to become more aware of my own female power and in becomming a more abundant lover, a more sacred mother and ultimatly become more of the real me!!! Thank you overseas and beloved sisters!!!
