This artwork expresses the dual nature of healing: the beauty and suffering. Written in pencil underneath the paint is the first stanza of a poem I wrote. I also wrote these words below the painting on the backing board (matboard).
What is life if not the
warm touch of his
palm on my chest, if not the
wind's caress of my
neck's nape, a
space between
the jawline
and the collarbone
touched by a divine grace?
Reflection questions for this piece:
What does duality mean to you?
Where do you see duality in this painting?
Think about a time you felt multiple different emotions at once, contrasting ones. What was that experience like? What did you learn or take from that experience?
About the Love Letters to Mother Earth collection
What moves us toward protection and care if not love? In honoring and loving my natural self, my soul, I learn how to safeguard my tenderness and the magic that is mine to wield. And this love guides me toward the people and spaces where I feel free and valued as my true self.
My hope is that in honoring and loving wild lands, tender artists, our authentic selves, this mysterious and beautiful universe, and this magical and messy planet of ours, we will learn to safeguard what is precious and sacred in each other and this world. Standing under a canopy of towering trees is humbling, freeing, incomparably special. It’s precious. So are you and so am I and so is each river and forest and so is this planet.
