I've been able to get my work done at school this week and I haven't had many things on my calendar either. Wahoo! I've been feeling creative and having some pretty powerful images when I'm praying and dreaming. Today I painted this which came from an image I had this morning while praying. My image included heavy things "raining" down on the girl too, but I omitted those from the painting and focused on the rising from the flames. Avoidance? Most definitely...why would I want to ruin a great image with bricks and stuff raining down on her? Nope..not this image.
I like how she looks strong and powerful, she's open and solid. She appears confident in her transformation. She is who she is and that's all that matters.
I also wrote a Haiku (A 5-7-5 poem) that goes with her. When I was away in DC, someone gave me the "assignment" to write a Haiku a day. It was a really nice and focused way for me to get my thoughts and feelings together. I write a lot of Haiku's now and most often with my art work. I'll share my Haiku's periodically on my blog with ya'll.
Phoenix Girl rises
Flames transform her; open, strong.
She is who she is.

It was a good image and I think I'll pray with it the next few days and see what else comes up.

purifying flames!! :) and cleansing rain!
It looks more like the Pheonix girl is receiving a blessing! I, for one, pray for that.
