Last week I removed from my car this painting. I created it during an Intuitive painting workshop over four years ago. Since then a lot has happened! I moved across the country, I got a new job, I built a romantic relationship, I turned 40, my mother transitioned to the spirit world, I developed a new relationship with my body, etc. I could go on and on describing all the changes that occurred inside and out.
This fun painting is a "yoni". Yoni is a sanskrit word given to the female genitals in the Tantra world. I named this painting “the dripping yoni”.
What intrigues me is how did I not bring her out before? It was face down laid flat in my trunk for all this time.
What was so potent about this painting that I had to keep it the trunk for four years?
What was she dripping with that inspired this creation and then I couldn't find a “place” for her in my life? What was She expressing then that I gave it one visual outlet and then shut her up?
What am I ready for now that I wasn't four years ago?
Hmm, I wonder what my life would be like if I offered Her several ways of expression in the world?
Ahhh, I wonder....
