Addendum to yesterday's post: This is What Healing Looks Like




Addendum to yesterday's post, to the shock witnessing a shredded web: 


After I hit the publish button on yesterday's post, I realized that while my mind had sorted out yesterday's news, the physical and emotional parts of my being was experiencing the numbess that often comes with being in a state of shock.  While the painting named the hopefullnes of a positve future, I saw a certain frozeness in the image.  A good night of sleep and a bit of time gave space for the completion of October's moon painting:




Healing has begun.
Hope empowers us.
Action energizes us. 
No matter the outcome in days to come 
the reweaving of the fabric of our national community will happen.
we are just not privy to the timing or the form


RGB and the new moon of October.
 

 Painting the day of the a new justice vote. 


Now reveals what hope, empowerment, action and energy look like.

In Walking Our Truth We Can Reweave the Tattered Web.


pink moon final.
She brings healing for a new web of truth.



The day Ruth Bader Ginsberg died I painted the new moon for October and the collar of justice she shed that day fell on my painting of the pink new moon 


 October Pink Moon unfinished.


I painted the names of all the truth seekers I could muster over the next 30 days, but the painting would not be finished.  This morning I woke, and during my morning meditation the image for finishing the pink moon came with urgency.  
Layers of paint and lace laid down with an intentionality of their own.  As I finished the work the realization came: today an unprecedented action in the United States senate tore apart weavings of the Supreme Court.  The energy of the moon painting for Walking Truth tells us that in walking our Truth faithfully we can reweave the web of justice.  We each have our own path of Truth, our own contribution to this weaving.
