After feeling so stuck with my collage project, I found some images that felt like could represent the shifts that can happen inside of us when we make quantum leaps through space and time.

Because this is what has been required of me to come back from death. This is what I’ve done.

I’ve been able to arrange the images on the page and I no longer feel like they are worlds that are impossibly far apart. It more feels like a place I’ve been to and know well, but have now traveled past and through to another realm where I get to live differently and so much more is possible.

It’s amazing to me how just adding a couple of new images to this collage has moved the energy of stuck-ness, resistance and angst into expansion, excitement and flow. Amazing.

Through this project I’ve learned that we don’t always have to re-invent something, or even start over. Sometimes we just have to make minor changes, and then things can really come together in a way that works.

I’ve sat with my completed collage for a few days now, letting it “speak” to me and inform me about what it is I need to know. I keep hearing the words “SPACE” and “REST”. I am committed to giving myself both through February – which sounds like a really long time, but I’ve learned not to fight or question this kind of inner knowing. It’s always right and never leads me astray.

I’ve also learned that creating art like this is a deeply fulfilling spiritual practice for me. It connects me with something inside of myself that is so wise. I keep thinking about how wonderful it is that I’ve found and given this experience to myself.

It goes to show how little we know about where our joy will lead us.
