Day 315, of 14, 600 Art Meditation

March 17, 2023 ‘Ocean and the Abalone Shell Heart-Art Bundle’

I was writing about Surrendering this morning when I paused to check Instagram and coach Matt Cooke’s explanation about Surrendering popped up. I LOVE these tiny synchronicity-moments in life.

One of the reasons I’m showing this art again is that a few years ago I started designing it, and the plan for it crashed and burned. It takes courage to talk about my failures, but the heart-growth is inside this so here goes:

I still BELIEVE in this art, which is the most important part.

When someone suggests that I need to BE abundant, I just KNOW, it’s my art, and that this art should not live in a closed drawer in my computer. 

I don’t know exactly what the purpose for this art is, but for now, when I work with it, it helps me reconnect with myself. I am showing it and then Surrendering, letting go of it…

The solid images with white strokes are the base representing failure, and they don’t look like much alone. But when I work with them and don’t give up, new art happens, which I love so MUCH.

I print it out on my desk because of the way it looks when it’s covering my entire desk and then sunlight kicks in which makes it even more beautiful. It shimmers, although the camera really doesn’t capture it. Hmmm.

And that FEELING of joy that art gives is what I want to get out there.

So back to Surrendering ….

Here is what gives me hope. Recently I experienced an AMAZING example of Surrendering. I was working with two of the advocates in my life - there are now a total of 3. We were in search of something and we put a LOT of effort into it. We SHOWED UP. But one day, completely out of the blue 💙, the PERFECT answer showed up. It was the solution the three of us had hoped for from the very beginning! And how many times were we tempted to settle for LESS. And now, everyone involved is deliriously happy. 

That’s … Surrendering. You don’t even see the answer coming, and suddenly it’s happening, or happened.
