Here is the quote for this work:

" In these instances, when you are experiencing the pressure of your job,
(work of any kind, stress in general, illness, spiritual crisis, grief, loss, love,
friendships, trust...these are my own words added to this quote) you also
have the opportunity to experience Right Mindfulness. Ironically, it is our
insecurities, tribulations, and uncomfortable moments that offer us the
best workable material. When we directly face our fears and frustrations,
we are weaving the rare and intricate fabric used to design the rich
tapestry of our authentic selves.

By training the mind and embracing challenges as opportunities to wake
up, we develop the skillfulness to hold to our view. We remove the
laminate that temporarily shields us from the discomfort of the moment.
Strengthening our ability to fully experience each moment forms a keyhole
for the world to shine directly into our tender heart."
~Nancy Spears

This is my birthday present to myself. Today I turn 39, (9/27/08) for the first
time.
I finished this work today, and I thought of about 4 zillion names to call
it…but pay as you go seemed to be the one that was right for me. It’s not
perfect, it’s all slightly leaning, tilted, like my mind, my eye, my soul. I like
that about myself now.
The bold brush strokes are done in layers of yellow, warm orange, deep
red, violets, darker purples and burgundy reds. Inside the key hole there
are all the same colors just not as muted or blended, they are starker, more
vibrant. The figure is done in light see-through glazes, so that the brush
strokes done in random underneath her body can be seen and become the
defining details of her body. You can see that in the close ups much better.
She is leaning, grabbing and protecting the keyhole, to which as a friend
remarked recently, that she herself is the key to. Her transparency reveals
the inner knowledge that there are no more secrets worth protecting, that
she is an authentic whole person, reaching to hold onto, stand in tip-toes
her demons and devils she knows...now she is becoming ready to turn and
face the unknown, without the fear of her past polluting her fertile future.
She is hope. She is faith. She is personal power. She is responsible for her
happiness. She is less afraid of the world. She is sometimes still inviable to
those she most wants to see her. She is a reflection. She is substance.
This is my way of letting go, and getting on down my path.
Happy Birthday to me, I'm growing into a fine human being after all, and
because of it all.

I hope your day is wonderful and that you are in a place where you can love
yourself first, so that the rest of the world can either not matter, or see you
for who you really are, a creature full of love and magick.
