"Leaning in and Listening" Original

Layers of bright and energetic acrylic paints on a 20x24in stretched canvas.

“Leaning in and Listening” is an invitation to lean in close to the truths of who we are with compassion and abandoning every voice or thought that may try to say otherwise. We are called Beloved.

The titles of each piece in this collection are woven together with lines from this “poem”

NOTE TO SELF:

Compassion. You make me come alive in ways I’ve never known before.

Allowing my heart to beat wildly with permission to love and be loved.

Centered in to the gravity and reality that all along you have carried me.

Held me.

Protected me.

Listened to me.

All along you where there, and I remember.

I remember the way you spoke to me in my heart, my head, my gut, and my dreams.

Leading me in the way of wisdom and truth.

Leading me back to you.

Compassion, you make me come alive mind, body, and spirit;

you are worthy of loving and

I am committed to leaning in and listening.

I am coming home to you.
