Colorful Journey deep Within

Back home from the tropical paradise of Costa Rica I look back at the journey and cannot say anything else but 'Wow!'. I could not have expected the amount of facets that came with the journey! I found myself in the cradle of creation, and here are some images that I brought back. I painted them in watercolor:

Colorful swirls best captivate the energies of volcanoes, waterfalls and lush jungle. How perfect to dive in from an abstract point of view,  from high above where all comes together in a glorious song of Earth inhaling and exhaling!

Of course, flowers called to me to paint them! And what an abundance! Calla lilies from further up the mountains, from the cool air of higher elevation and nearby springs, and gorgeous Catalina flowers that equally thrive in the cooler climate.

The journey took me not only into colorful external visuals, but deep into Earth as well, into the Heart of Earth tones, crystals and, within Earth core, to the Portal of the Universe...

With loving assistance, Earth is rebirthing 'herself', from inside out. As we do, too! The New Heart Flame is powerful, vibrant and glowing with Joy! See the dolphins?

And, again, the Tree of Life came to me! The image has been with me for a long time, again and again. The Great Alignment is very clear: the Alignment of Earth Core/Heart with the Eye in the Sky/Sirius and the Center of the Universe. Blues and Golds, Stars, Planets and all Life singing the Anthem that has never been lost.

We are on a journey, together with our planet Earth. I am not surprised, but amazed, as to how much the current healing is about 'mending the past' and forgiveness of self (and others). If we choose to do so and allow it to happen, we can travel now into the past, right into the fabric of our lives, the luminous fibers of our creations, and mend all wears and tears, find the splinters, pull them out and add the missing pieces... And, we are not alone. Our soul and star families are with us and hold our hands while reminding us to breathe...
