This is one of the pieces I submitted for an exhibit. I titled it Path to the Temple. Unfortunately, it was rejected. That's okay though. It's actually one of my favorite works and I am glad that it's still in my possession.
When I gaze at this lovely image, I think about the phases of my life. I think about how often I've gone off course in search of satisfaction. I wasn't on a path to my temple but a path to disaster. I took jobs knowing full well I wouldn't be prosperous or happy. It was to fill a void, I guess, called a need for income. When I soon began to step away from this hold and dependency, I was able to listen to what my heart had to say. I began to become connected to my higher self. I finally listened to my higher self. This listening afforded me the opportunity to be redirected to where I was supposed to be. It was there all along, but I was distracted.
Now I am at one with my higher self and my purpose. I am on course. It feels wonderful, and my work gives me such affirmation. How do you affirm to yourself that you are on the right path? What messages have you received from your higher self?
Darnita,
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful! And what a powerful message it sends. I'm glad that you are on your right path. Art certainly is part of that. And I cannot believe that this was rejected. As someone whose art was recently rejected, I see that I'm in very good company and that jurors don't know what they are doing. :-)Sandy/Creations by Coleman
Sandy, I tell you art is quite subjective. I know people/jurors have their interests and fave subjects, but I need them to be open to difference. You would think that in the art world difference would be well-received. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us. There are admirers of our work, and I have good feelings that we will get the deserved recognition.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I can't imagine anyone rejecting this piece. It's beautiful! And it has such a peaceful look....the title is just perfect.
