We are Mud

Acrylic paint and texture medium

In the closing ceremony at a silent retreat, we gathered in meditation. This image is a vision from that meditation where I had a deep sense of being part of the earth. Held by the elements and comforted by the ground. We are all made of the same stuff in endless forms and incarnations.

Falling back on this understanding, we can breathe into our grounded connection, to nature, to each other and to our selves. We are all but intelligent mud.

WE ARE MUD

I am of mud

I am of earth.

I will sink back

Into the form I came

Remembering

We are all the same.

We are all mud.

We are all clay.

Malleable each day.

Shed the skin

That no longer fits.

Step into presence.

Feel into your nature.

Only you can commit.

This act is for you.

For your being only.

Rest here “She says”

Return to heal.

To feel what is holy.

This is where you find your power.

By returning, to what grows the flower.
