This one took me on a journey of war between my mind and heart.
The mind is blue swan and my heart is pink.
My story begins with the swans surrounded by vibrant splashes of chaos, wrapped in a warm yellow “ring of light”.
Both are protected by divine energy. The mad commotion looks beautiful, almost surreal. The moon and the Sirius star holds them.
As I sat back to admire the chaos, another thought dawned upon me. After all these years of playing dodge ball with madness,
I no longer accept it. Cutting unhealthy attachments is the hardest. Out come my scissors to say good bye to chaos.
And then I re wrote my story…
The swans reappear in black and white. The gold signifies the faith holding me through darkness.
The chaos was a consequence to lack of boundaries. Intricately worked, hand embellished works of silver and gold surface as boundaries.
They are flashy and steal the show, making a safety net for the swans.
No storm lasts forever, only experiences remain, hence the boundaries.
We are all work in progress.
‘It’s not about creating a masterpiece but about the route to becoming your own Master’.
