We are each called to a place of flying freely in the truth, grace and poise of who we are. Often layers of illusions, false hopes and learned fears hinder that freedom of flight and blind us to the truth.

In this image the brilliant and iridescent colors of the dragonfly are mirrored in the obsidian waters of the souls space into which we must dive if we are to know that freedom. In these deep places we come face to face with the truth of who we are and what we know. As the illusions fall away, we experience the paradox of dying and rising, and as we let go, we hear the invitation to enjoy the freedom of living in our truth with grace and poise.

The paradox of transformation is the paradox of death/resurrection, a time of dying to what was, as we move into what will be. It's a strange mix of color and darkness, of both knowing and not knowing. This somewhat abstract image reflects on the leap we take into the mystery of our own tansformative journeys. Here we face the changes and sometimes the death of our hopes, our dreams, our bodies and our relationships. As we stand in these times of change, we simply ask to be faithful and to trust in a loving God who can truly make all things new.

There are times in our lives when our spirit simply wants to scream out the truth. We long for the courage to release the cries of our soul as we are confronted with the mysteries of living and loving, of letting go and moving on. We dare to speak out loud the long held secrets of our soul rather than allow them to continue to ferment within. It is in giving them a voice that we come to know the quieter, simpler places that have always been beneath the scream.

We have each been faced with the mystery and paradox of letting go. How hard it is to enter that vulnerable space of permitting ourselves to feel the naked aloneness and trust that there is a Loving God amid this dark confusion. We sometimes gingerly lean into that space as we slowly hand over our hearts to a compassionate Presence who know our deepest fears and emptiness. At times of loss and letting go we ask only to lean into Love and trust that the emptiness will make way for fullness.

At times we try desperately to hide what we perceive as inadequacy. We cloak ourselves with efforts to please, produce and perform, hoping that will be enough. We cling to the covers of power or proficiency to avoid disclosing our vulnerability. In the noise and panic we can miss hearing the call of our own heart, and the invitation deep within to come home to ourselves and to that sometimes forgotten place of being held by an unconditionally loving God. Here we are gently encouraged to remove the masks behind which we've hidden and stand without shame in the truth of who we are. The long held lies of not having enough or not being enough fall aside when we stand in the presence of unbounded love. In the letting go, we come home to the abundance which we have always really had.

This image is a reflection on times of waiting when we must simply BE in our unknowing as we wait to know. It is a time of asking for what we need, trusting that, even as we wait, it is given. These times demand a naked vulnerability and a discipline of patience as we await inspiration, insight or clarity. The paradox of the image is that in what is often perceived as apparent inactivity, there is generative process.

Often on our journey through life finds us walking into the unknown. These times of passage through the unfolding of our living and dying, find us seeking courage and hope. In our doubting and despair, often to our surprise, we remain in the constant company of a companion who never leaves us. This image reflects a wordless awe that one senses on the edge of this passage between now and not yet. The mystery is Sacred, as is the Companion. Time seems fluid here, and darkness, soft. Someday we will know what supports us in this time of walking into mystery. For now, we are called to surrender to the journey and trust that the Companion speaks the answers in the wordless spaces of our heart.

While descending into the Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico, a rock seems to give form to a cloaked woman who stands silently amid a circle of stones. The soft form in a solid rock appears to embody the maternal presence of the Divine Feminine in this heart and womb of the earth. She abides in the quiet darkness as a companion and guardian as we descend into the deep chambered caves of our being and knowing. Her presence gives voice to a gentle reminder that all will be well.
