La puerta de Isabel

FB tells me I posted ‘this’ drawing 6 years ago. It instantly inspired me to share the story behind the drawing,  but as soon as I finished writing this piece, the drawing vanished .  After much searching I’ve found it!   It was such an ‘aha’ moment (seeing the drawing again), I wanted  to share the story with you, along with the  prints I made at our  Passionart group this morning.    This morning after an intense hour with the estate agent, I was feeling rough .  The serious leg pain and the serious house hunting ha ve begun once again.   So love how synchronicity always kicks in at the best moment.  Seeing this drawing again has filled me with new hope.   Why?   Here’s why! In 4 weeks I will be without fixed abode again, and within 2 months, they will operate on the ‘other’ hip, so finding the ‘right’ house has some challenges.   This digital  drawing was inspired by the story of Isabel, the woman I bought my house from in Alcazar, 16 years ago.

Unfinished poem...

“Unfinished Poem" I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.” ― John O'Donohue Life drawing this morning.  Bliss and Joy!  Definitely carried away on a journey of beautiful unknowing and unfolding. How can life be so sweet and so sour at the same time? I've had an overdose of disturbing news over the internet.It's time to find a powerful antidote. 'To meet hatred and loss with a generous heart is the most difficult practice imaginable. Yet what is the purpose of a spiritual practice if you are not going to use it in life's difficult moments?' 'It requires humility to surrender to the mystery of life, it's unpredictability.  It requires an equal amount of courage to face life's loses and  be willing to say: 'This too is life,'  and bear it as you find it.' and humour always helps!
