Amy! You are amazing! I love your words and the ease of grasping your intentions. I was not as confident in the artwork at first because I made clear decisions from the beginning that somehow changed as I processed through it. Thank you for trusting me to visual your poems. I’m loving it!

You are a true alchemist!! Fascinating hearing your experience of the creative process. What sounds like a stepping into the unknown with a vision, a little uncertainty, and an eventual surrender to the process. Following—and trusting—your intuition and in some ways, maybe letting the paint brush guide you instead of you guiding it. Not, easy. And yet so, many, parallels, to how I’m learning that we can—if we so choose—move through the world. Our life, the canvas 🤩 Thank you for making these posts and these poems so, incredibly, richer ✨💜✨

Makes my heart happy that your heart is happy! Is that why my hands are all tingly?! Lol.

Sweet sharing - brings up thoughts of Pono. And love the human moments- being perfectly human means being imperfect. Love is a verb and we can only truly love another when we love ourselves. As if hand on heart yields hand in hand. Blessings.

Ooooooo that line, Philip! "As if hand on heart yields hand in hand," to close out the self-love-to-love-others thought. Your poetic, insight-packed reflections always get my brain working.

This piece went on an adventure. It started so differently than how it ended.

Funny, reflecting on the literal throat clearing, given the thread in this one about back of the neck energy and using the voice and all that. Forever a practice of making space to let the good stuff flow through.

Omg, yes, Michelle's piece legit took my breath away. SO, GOOD.
