Heaven and Earth

Whoever believed Heaven and Earth are two different places was not truly seeing when they were looking. Everyone who has glimpsed God will tell you there is no place God is not. This Presence is omnipresent…here on this canvas, in your smallest toe, in your sensuality and sexuality, in every breath, every cell, every being. It is Love. It is peace. It is Goodness, Truth and Beauty. And it is everywhere on Earth, or it could not be omnipresent.
This painting came through me in a single, overwhelming recognition of that One Supreme Source. The figure lies open, arms wide in ecstatic surrender, body glowing against a cosmic explosion of color … deep blues and violets merging with radiant golds, fiery oranges and luminous whites. Light streams down like divine nectar, stars and particles dancing around her form. There is no separation between sky and skin, spirit and flesh. Heaven is not above us. It is pouring through us.
The experience of painting it was pure bliss — the delicious, wondrous feeling that arises when we remember we are never separate from the Beloved. Every stroke was a prayer of gratitude: “Thank you for being here. Thank you for being everywhere.”
May we all know this great feeling of the Great Source.
May we bask and bathe in Its Goodness, Truth and Beauty.
