Post 8: The Christ Child Comes to Earth
Title of Painting: Madonna, Christ Child, and Angel You see a new world opening up.
The Christ Child—the Babe is coming into your world— a Child, yet your ancient Self. You hold the Christ in your arms, close to your heart. It looks out of your eyes now, upon a new world full of miracles.

Post 4 Our Return to Sanity
Title of Painting: Burning House What is this madness in my house? This house is burning! Yet, as I look deep, there is an underlying peace amidst the chaos. Now we are again on the path. What felt like thorns beneath the feet has become flower petals falling from above. (The date of the original social media post: Oct. 14, 2015) All of us have had those dark states where it felt as if we stood on the edge of insanity. Or it may be more accurate to say, where we had fallen ov
