Day 5. Joy

“Out of the Blue” 6×6, oil on wood panel, framed. My morning meditation today was on Joy, her capriciousness, her constant surprise, her inability to be invoked or beckoned as though her very nature is to arrive when not expected.

“Led by Love” 8×8 oil on canvas Writer Elizabeth Gilbert has a spiritual practice called “two-way” prayer where she writes a letter to God which she often just calls Love and then writes a letter back to herself from Love.  I tried this practice months ago and it was so good, so healing that I […]
