I feel a painting coming on....

I saw this poem by David Whyte posted on The High Road Artist blog and just had to share it.  It exemplifies where I am at this time in my journey to myself...

Sweet Darkness

When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also

When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you


Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes to recognize its own


There you can be sure
you are not beyond love

The dark will be your home
tonight


The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see


You must learn one thing
The world was made to be free in.

Give up all other worlds
except the one to which you belong


Sometimes it takes darkness
and the sweet confinement of your aloneness
to learn


Anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you

FIRST PLACE: “Sunshower” by Ruth Hunter

"Chosen for its dynamic spiritually uplifting presence, strong understanding of the figure in its composition, fluid gesture and movement with a solid figure/group relationship. It has unified, rich color and sustains interest through its luminous light contrasted against a densely layered surface. Excellent control of media. Bravo!"
