But my heart was light. Courageous.
Our journey to a new life was long and arduous.
But my body was strong. My mind focused. My spirit elevated.
My companion was loving and good-natured.
Together our trust was growing.
As each step brought us.
Closer to the birth.
~Ally.
As the deepest silence penetrated the very core of Heaven and Earth.
~Claire Heartsong: Anna.
In the soft morning light. The desert air: Moist.
Everything: Still. I see my future stretching out before me.
The path: Narrow. The way: Disciplined. Yet my cup will overflow.
Love for my family will bring both laughter and tears.
I will teach my child to sing and play music.
We will: Walk. Talk. Dance together.
The Seed of Life within.
Will flower.

About my work.
Sometimes when I look at one of my photographs or as in this case, an old drawing: A song or quote or other thoughts/words come to me. I enjoy the process of visually massaging the resulting prose into a shape. Usually a triangle, but sometimes a square and in this instance: A diamond.
I'm also finding that as I invite signs into my life and seek to become much more attentive to synchronicity, the more my creativity flows and the more magical my entire life is becoming.
For instance, as the second verse of this 'poem' was forming ~ I asked for a word or phrase to express the energy within The Child as The Mother poured all her love and wisdom into the blossoming of her Child.
These simple and most validating words came:
The Seed of Life within.
Will flower.
And I knew the verse was complete.
Seed of Life.
I described the following dream about the forming of a perfect Seed of Life symbol in the earth in my article: The Crimson Seed of Life #1.
I was overlooking an expansive landscape of undulating green fields.
As I looked down onto an area of vibrant green grass, I noticed a bare brown patch that was starting to spread out and I felt a ripple of disconcertedness.
As I looked closer, I could see that this browned area was formed by the earth being pushed up by something that was below the earth. Apprehension turned to curiosity.
Closer again and I could see that the earth was being shaped into fine lines forming a pattern. I could then see that the earth 'pushers' were hundreds of bees.
The form the bees were making was a PERFECT Seed of Life.
I had gone to bed asking for guidance about the direction my art needed to take. I interpreted this dream as being a connection between the Seed of Life and the bees and also a 'sign' that I incorporate this symbol into my art.
Thus began my Seed of Life ephemeral art pieces.
The Crimson Seed of Life #1.
The Crimson Seed of Life #2.
The Crimson Seed of Life #3.
And NOW?
I continually ask for guidance on the direction my art needs to take.
And over the Christmas season and especially since writing this 'poem' ~ I've come to see that the Seed of Life is to be an integral part of my NEW drawing.
AND where it can be planted.
I have four drawings of the stages of a camellia flowering: From a bud to being fully open. These drawings are not quite as ancient as The Journey and Guided by the Star but they were never finished, as I didn't know what they needed. Now I know ~ Although I don't know PRECISELY how they can be embraced by the Seed of Life.
Opening of a Camellia.
This is one of the four drawings. It was drawn from an actual camellia, just before it opened out fully.
The flowering 'Seed of Life.'
Gently guiding your own life's journey.
Bringing you many Blessings this Christmas Season.
~Ally.
