These paintings are inspired by Big Boulder Lake in the Poconos in PA. I love the final sentence that arrived with this prayer poem, which is “the still lake is fed by a vibrant stream.“ I think there’s something captured in these paintings about hope and joy and loss in the reality of impermanence and the longing to be present and brave enough to navigate at all. There are three in this series each one with a different prayer poem written under the paint. 

What if the people you love are growing and declining and changing and there’s nothing you can do about it

Be as brave as possible
Cry when needed
Carry on when needed
Be alone when needed
Ask for help when needed

What if you zoomed out and knew all your behaviors were coping were held in love?

The path has always been clear connected with love, and you will naturally choose the higher path
Trust yourself
Less learning more living
Connect to community
Make generous offerings
The still lake is fed by a vibrant stream.
