I am coming to understand more clearly why these two drawing series assignments needed to be done with pen. I have a tendency to perceive things energetically and to avoid details. When drawing or painting I like to have broad sweeps of energy with a few significant details. There’s nothing wrong with this. However, I am learning to give my complete attention and appreciation to details rather than avoiding them. In that way I am learning not to be overwhelmed by or “shorted out” by details. I can give myself to them completely.

This assignment is helping to “rewire” my system so that I can fully incarnate, own my physical senses, and allow them to become spiritualized. I believe I mentioned Red Riding Hood and the wolf in an earlier post… and that the Huntsman has come, making the rescue. Details do not need to trap me in a materialistic prison any more. I begin to perceive details with new eyes, the eyes of the Heart. This has been an ardent wish of mine, and it is being actualized.

The heart is the hub of all sacred places; go there and roam.
