It was just a coffee stain... The story connections that form on the page always surprise me. I rarely draw a wise women Grandma. I call them soul stories as they form on the page as flow. The choice is not conscious but emerges fully formed from somewhere deep within. Spilt coffee can spark something new. I’m learning to step aside and let the story take form. It is the trust agenda that has always felt like a life lesson that reminds me to pause long enough to catch the idea. I wonder what stories are emerging for you in this extended stage 4? This process of stepping into these visual stories helps me to find a sense of balance within as the outer world feels out of balance. Finding peace n mindful creative spaces feels like a lovely way to nurture ourselves. #covidspace#creativebalance#earthhealing#wildsoulcreativity#grandmotherart#wisewomenart https://www.instagram.com/p/CDdbC9fj2Va/?igshid=m8qfigi2yp06
