I spent the other night up at the house erythaning the window and door trim. Since it was dark, I had lights on and when I went out to the car to call Greg and check in I took this picture. Junebugs tapping on the windows, glowy cozy feel in abundance, Fats Waller singing out about his Honeysuckle Rose .... let me tell you it was sweet.
There is a feeling you have when you are new to something wonderful and suddenly you allow it into your being and begin to experience it on a deeper level. I can remember my little one not even a day old, holdng her up and kissing her little face all over and her eyes and tiny lips - I just had to. Greg came in and said - "Ohhhh, you can just kiss her...?" like a little light of recognition went off inside him that would allow him access to a greater happiness through a more authentic connection: one that has no boundaries. We hold ourselves away from the new - we distance ourselves as if we aren't sure it is really for us. Do we truly deserve to have that deep a connection? Can we allow it?
As I painted the other night - really loving all the wood. Watching it glow under the erythane and see the knots come alive under my strokes, I started to open up. Some of this process became real for me, as Luna said "really real"...
