Thank you Timothy for this quote I can definitely relate to. In the past years and months lessons kept coming back to be integrated and one of them is go with the flow. Don't resist, let go, surrender. Be as fluid as the water in the river. Be compassionate with whatever arises around you, in you. If you oppose resistance to it, like a branch stuck in the river, you will lose a tremendous amount of energy and even break one day. Being soft, fluid, even vulnerable is not a weakness. It appears to me as a strength because there is no resistance, nothing to break. Can you break the water punching it with your fist or a hammer? It is one of the most difficult lessons I am learning and not good at it, keep falling back into old patterns. It is a process and it takes time to trust the master plan of the Universe, to let go and surrender.
(! Surrender doesn't mean let everything go over you. If you're in danger or in abusive relationships of any kind, put yourself in safety first !)
The storm was short, maybe 15 minutes of heavy rain, filling the streets with water. Thankful for my big truck allowing me to pass flooded streets without problems. The night before I had a wonderful lightening show on my way back home. Humbled by the force of Nature and my thoughts and prayers are with those in areas that a ravaged by storms and flooding.
Working on new artwork to present at the Bill Spresser gallery in Havasu AZ in October 2017, it's at the visitors center next to London Bridge. For a whole month my work will be displayed and I can hardly wait. What an exciting year, this will be my 4th show.
Untitled, acrylics on canvas by Trish Taylor. Working on a commission, exciting project for my Palm Springs customers. Really nice, fun and interesting people that I met through my husband at one of my art shows this year.
