Charlotte


i sat sketching her
and 
my mom appeared in the drawing!
I showed it to her and she loved the bird on her head
and said the snake could not be her more
she said she once folk danced with a snake wrapped around her like this
i did not know
but i do remember her picking up snakes with glee
and huge tarantulas (spiders)
she has always loved animals
and 
she is a beautiful redhead

My Wish for You ~


my wish for you
comes from the depths of inner stillness
rises through heart
 flows into the world 
trusting

DC: Key


 the key
to her balance
became an Elixir of:
joy
intention
love
and 
being with what is
~

I was going through my photos with doors and key holes
 I took this photo while visiting my sister in Italia
I wonder what the key that opens this door looks like!
Some day i will draw this door....

but it only wants pollen
