A circle is always happening between my life and my art. I am forever being moved and moving myself along the spiral.
With the jellies I have come to a place of faith, Not faith in humanity but faith in my understanding of our connectedness on earth. What exists in me exists throughout our world. Therefore how could I not feel benevolent forces at work?
To believe in some power outside myself feels all wrong. The time has passed for that. What I am attempting to share about my journey is that we are joined. That we share this journey.
Last week I went to see the magic jellies at the New England Aquarium. As I watched the movement of the jellies I was reminded how fragile life can be, how delicate and how wonderful. My journey here on earth is such a gift. I adore it. And I adore myself as part of it.
Watching the movements of the jellies in the water made it clear to me I am home. My body knows this movement. It is prayer made visible. The deep comfort of this, I believe, is what earlier mystics referred to as ecstasy.
