A Vertical Horizon
Sending you a Vertical Horizon as a symbol of hope, and as a wish and prayer for our opening, our way forward, to come....
My Dear Friends,
Today I feel called to share this painting with you. For me, it resembles a horizon, but in the vertical direction. Perhaps it's still a horizon that marries sky and earth, but instead of laying on the Earthly plane, it invokes the depths of a higher calling. And perhaps instead of being distant, like we often think of horizons, it is a horizon that is invoked from within.
Now, perhaps more than ever is a time for us to open and deepen in our truths. Because, I believe, that the deeper we go within, the more we open up towards reaching what makes us all similar; what makes us all one and whole.
My wish, my prayer is that we find the hidden gifts within this global condition, which has humbled us.
I do believe everything happens for a reason. In the times we are in, I ask myself, "What are we being called to do?" The answer cannot be, embrace fear. Yes, we must do all we can and work together to remain safe and healthy, and take all the necessary steps to remain so. I believe this can be done from a place of embracing wellness and healing. I think the true answer to what we are being called to do, is different for everyone. And because of the magnitude of this global condition, it may even change from day to day. But maybe a part of the answer is to open. While I do watch the news to stay informed, I am also embracing the messages from those who are sharing other ways of being right now, from reciting and sharing poetry online, to messages of hope and healing. One of my dearest resources being Danielle LaPorte especially her Instagram live.
Right now, perhaps more than ever before, I wish to deepen in my service. If there is something more I can do for my community, through my art or writings, please let me know. If there is a subject you would find joy and comfort to see in my next newsletter, or if you'd like to share about something I've written here, or simply see more watercolor horizons, do let me know.
Wishing you safety and tranquility, and sending with an open heart all my compassion and well wishes to you and yours.
We will get through this. We will find our opening.
Much love
Sophia
