I finished this painting, a dedication to the colors that will lift us all up higher and out of our own personal impoverished or limiting circumstances, whatever they may be. Also, I’m stepping away for a minute…I’m getting a new hip, and more than ever I need some time to recoup, revamp and recover and focus on healing my physical body for the more adventurous future that is in store for me on my journey. I plan on being the valedictorian of recovery, like last time…and will be dancing in no time (last time I was walking without a cane in less than three weeks…but since I know what can happen when I get too arrogant…I promise to follow every rule/protocol and not over do it).

So let me leave with this beautiful message from a 14th century Sufi poet:

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.

Pray for me, stay with me…I need your love
