A belated Lughnasadh greeting to you! My harvest has brought me unexpected things, and not all of them pleasant, but I guess you reap what you sow, & now, this Crone's learning to plant what she needs...Blogging my drawings again, as a way of disciplining my mind to create something new every day... and it's nice to share my process with someone else:
You...
Today, my first sketch (not shown) reminded me I can choose to enjoy myself, although I feel overwhelmed by a completely new set of life circumstances... Needless to say, that image was rendered in an anxious state, & although the process brought calm, the result wasn't very attractive, so I continued working, because it felt right...
How glad I am that I stuck with it!
Here is "Little Sister of the Moon", who reminds me it's o.k. to be frivolous...
to let go of worry...
to feel beautiful and happy...
because I am acceptable to Nature, exactly as I am...
and so are You...
I do not understand what is required of me, or know how to survive in a work-a-day-world, especially in my 59th year, after not having worked in a job for 12 years...
but I know about the moon...
and women's mysteries...
and that old women are the Beautiful Wise Mothers of this world...
... that is all...
Ah, Marigold I truly empathise with your situation. All I can say is that whenever you feel a bit disjointed in that work a day world know that it is probably the craziness of that world and not any shortcoming on your part that is the cause. Take your crony wisdom with you, honor what yoy know to be true of yourself and the natural world and you may do more than survive.....you may just thrive and bless others along the way. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynne. I shall take your advice - it sounds very sensible to me! And thanks for your blessing... so very kind. X
DeleteSister Moon, tbe crone in you speaks wisely but with a wisdom that comes with age, education and experience. Honour yourself with self respect ..you have earned it. Blessings upon your day......
ReplyDeleteThank you Carole, as my old mother used to tell me:"it's no good getting old, without getting artful"! Ha! I don't know about the artful bit, but I am full of art, as I get older! Wisdom speaks to me via the making of images... I love that.
