When I Learned to Live in Grace

When I look at this painting I sense light rather than seeing it. This painting came out of The Voice of stillness…a voice, free and pure, born out of profound inner quiet …a hush that moved me into the depths of mystery and majesty, wonder and awe. It arrived with a fragrance there was breathing me. Touching me. Changing me.

It has relaxed into the implicit order and elegance of things. She knows she belongs. Not because of anything she does. But because every fiber of her being has relaxed into itself and she’s enjoying the delicious spaciousness of that.

She is alive as life’s mystery. Enticing mystery. Mystery that excites… intrigues … pulls us in. Alive with wonder that stirs and lifts, allows and xpands. alive with the voice of presence that awakens the memory of goodness, truth, and beauty...

When I look at this painting, Joy Wells up in me. And hope. Not the kind of hope that flickers and fades. But the kind that fills the air thick with love and trust and substance and depth.

I feel Ebullience luminosity in and all around my being when I look at this painting I feel the enchantment of this inner and outer space.

I think everyone has had one or many experiences of knowing that there is a great power within us and all around us. Maybe you are like me or you pushed the memory of those experiences away. I just forgot about them. This painting worked on me for more than 2 1/2 decades helping me embody these qualities deep within my being .

Maybe it can serve you in the same way?

Van Morrison once wrote a song with the words “when will I ever learn to live in God. He gives me everything I need and more. When will I ever learn?“

This painting is the essence of that lesson learned and integrated deeply into my body and being. This is when I no longer have a relationship with God. I am in partnership with God/Goddess/all that is.

Here we are luxuriating in the infinite ocean of love that always has our best interest at Hart, that is always doing its best to show off just how amazing it wants our life to be.
