The Question of Selkie’s Longing

There once was a seal

Who was caught sunbathing

Without her Cape of Seal Skin

She became captive to a foreign reality

Of children and earthen pleasures

A child offspring

Found the hidden once discarded

Cloak

Offering it up to the mother of desires

Who leaped with recognition

Into who she once was

Yet encountering longing

For sea and turf

It is the Longing

That defines the days

The Initiate’s Journey

It starts with being present…

And saying a prayer…

Coming to a boundary…

Maybe even in your sleep…

Sometimes with regret…

Or just sheer joy…

You might receive a message…

And be called…

To go beyond…

The life you knew…

It’s the quest of the Initiate’s Journey…

To awaken…

The Initiate’s Journey now Showing

Six years of images I’ve painted representing The Initiate’s Journey are now on display at Subway Gallery in Bisbee, Arizona.

The Initiate’s Journey represents those moments when our perception changes. Moments of vulnerability, moments of giving our all in complete openess.

Please take a look at the pictures from the show I’ve posted on Bisbee’s Subway Gallery page:
