Jessica and friends, lots of love is in this week.
The green traffic stop light became a very spiritual way of having the
emerald green light of softness in the chest and purity of heart.

I have been listening to meditation music in case anyone likes this, here
is a  website I like for searching for any kind of music:

Here is the reason why I was writing to you. I wanted to bring my personal
art collection to the retreat to share the love and talent of a Ukrainian
artist  Mirta Groffman.  I just feel like her art makes my living space so
serene and loving and magical, and wanted to just bring her art to exhibit
at the retreat for all of us to look at.

She shares her art only via Facebook, and supports her huge family of 11
people (herself, her husband, and their 9 children, of which 6 are adopted
from Ukraine).

Each of her paintings is born with a poem or a philosophy of existence.
Here is an example of her work that she just completed, with my very bad
English translation.

Flying (transition)
100 x 52cm, acrylic on canvas, varnish

Sometimes a pause is needed to feel the tranquility of standing water
Sometimes it is necessary not to think and not to do, to allow the life
force to evenly balance the space of one's body
Sometimes the soul rests at the bottom motionless watching the light
cutting as a window through the thickness of indigo color.
Sometimes, when the soul reaches a new phase, body and soul become
compressed before being able to fly
Before the instantaneous transition from the past into what is yet
emptiness ready to be filled
The emptiness creates the new beginning of a path for life

Thanks,
Anna Belaschenko
