ABOUT THIS WORK:

I recently read - experienced rather - the succinct and very dense book - The Untethered Soul. I sat down with my journal to try to summarize, to whittle down it’s overwhelmingly universal perspective, but I found myself - and again find so here writing today - without the words.

So I painted it. What this perspective looks like to me. What I want to remember, and remind myself of consistently and constantly.

That I - my being, my essence, my self, my spirit, my soul, my source - am so much more than anything around me that occurs. More than the feelings, more than the thoughts, more than all the senses, more than all the things that pass before me at any given moment.

I am the consciousness, the awareness.

When thoughts overwhelm me - I am not these thoughts; I am the one observing these thoughts.

When emotions flood me - I am not the emotions; I am the one experiencing these emotions.

When senses of the outside world overpower - I am not these senses, I am the one noticing these senses.

I’m finding this is giving a much needed layer of distance, a moment of separation from the things that feel all too fixed, real, solid. A moment to remember, I am the one forming my reality. I am the one who can regain her seat within, securely centered in awareness and consciousness.

And in that consciousness, in that ever-accessible seat, I am not only part of the universe, the universe is part of me.
In that space within, I am always whole, clear, calm, true;
without judgement, without shame, without fear.
In that space within, I am pure love, pure light, pure expanding energy.

In that space within, the universe resides.
