Hmmm ... I'm wondering what's inside your "hmmmm." 😊

Difficulty and necessity mostly. Knowing it is letting go of and beware of expectations...I really felt the writing.☺️

I hear you. And as adults, well acquainted with the hard complexities of life, what does TOTAL abandon even mean? Letting the ego drop away, perhaps. But this is obviously a lifelong practice.

I have prisms (sun catchers) in many of my windows. Light is caught, at different times of the day, different times of the year. They are magical yes, as they are also a manifestation of possibility in the ordinary.

I awoke this morning from a reoccurring nightmare of not finishing an art class.. of being told and shown I’m not an artist. The energy was dark but I was able to shake it with a shower. Then I happened to pick up your piece and read about your experience with this magic encounter and also the game board and was able to find my stability again. I believe in child magic.

I am glad you found yourself ushered into stability from that recurring nightmare. We all have our hauntings. They can feel so real. But they are see-through! Bless you, Dona. And may you know you're an artist.
