Oracle of Stillness-Blossoming- a prayer

I have just made a video of a prayer for ‘Blossoming’ in response to the madness and nightmares being unleashed upon the world.

This Woven Woman is ‘Blossom’ from my ‘Oracle of Stillness’ series.

She is all about our need to protect all that is innocent, and good, and beautiful and protect it from the destroyers….

The link to the video is:

May the Great Beauty prevail!

Oracle of Stillness-Ancient Grandmother- Keeper of the Hearth

Ancient Grandmother -Keeper of the Hearth

It’s not necessary to have been a mother to grow into the energy of being Grandmother.

The Grandmother energy holds clearly, deeply, and sometimes, ferociously on to the essential work of protecting, nourishing and nurturing the innocence inside herself, and in all of the chicks that gather under her powerful wings.

Ancient Grandmother energy is the Keeper of the Heart and Hearth and her role in the world is key and oh so very very full of meaning.

Honor her in yourself and in those who spread their branches in the Tree of Life. Listen for her stories and songs and her silence. Then join in singing them with her, or at least, hum along….

❤

The Oracle of Stillness-What We Carry In Our Hearts

Our hearts are amazing and miraculous and vast.

They are the holding place for all the stories of our lives.

And, as the stories bubble up into noticing, we have to to decide:

Which stories do I choose to still tell?

What stories have taught me well, and now can be blessed and allowed to drift away into dormancy? What stories seed awe and magic and wonder and healing and connection and clarity so they will bloom in Beauty?

These stories are the best stories to contemplate and cherish and tend to with care.

This Woven Woman is one of the mixed media woven figures from my Oracle of Stillness series.

She is an homage to “What We Carry In Our Hearts”.

The Oracle of Stillness- Learning from the Child

This Woven Woman is ‘Learning From the Child’ from my Oracle of Stillness series.

I am inspired to post this one, because I adore the Kindergardener from next door.

He drops by sometimes for little visits and it’s always a delight to have a chat with him.

It feels like it was only moments ago that he was a tiny babe in arms and now, he’s taking ski and snowboard lessons and painting the Northern Lights with alcohol ink and watercolors.

I love looking into his eyes and seeing the sparkle of discovery and the joy in mastering new things.

The Oracle of Stillness- She is in the Spaces Between

In music, the rests- the places and spaces between the notes give life and meaning to the notes.

Those still points embody grace, promise, potential, respite and oh so much more.

What a great metaphor for embracing contemplation, meditation and moments of sweet, healing, lovely silence!

This Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness is “She is in the Spaces Between”

a celebration of sacred quiet, restful moments and tender, healing silence.

The Oracle of Stillness- Renewal

Our close companion, the moon, is especially close when she is a Super Moon.

Last night the clouds swathed her in silken swirls and so we couldn’t see her, but oh yes, we still feel her presence. ‘

She pulls the tides of our oceans and inner waters and asks: Are you ready to change like I do?

This Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness is an homage to our friend the Full Moon. She is “Renewal”.

The Oracle of Stillness- Essence

Isn’t it lovely to watch the trees rock the full moon in their arms?

Sometimes the clouds pull up the blankets and we can’t see the moon, but still, we feel her presence.

She tickles and teases us and asks: Do you really need to sleep when you can be gazing at me?

Oracle of Stillness- The Guide Who is Just Where She is Needed

Ugh… the other night I had a horrible dream in which I got lost and couldn’t find my way home. I got more and more upset, and then, whew, a gentle guide showed up and reminded me that when a dream has gone wrong, for goodness sake, WAKE UP!

So, I did and I felt really comforted by going and gazing at this Woven Woman from my mixed media series: Oracle of Stillness. She is “The Guide Who is Just Where She is Needed”.

There are times when we are dreaming and also times when we are awake when we feel lost and distressed. Thank goodness for the Guides who show up to clear the path for us!
