The view of the gallery window in the banner across the top of my blogspot shows a painting by Joanne Landis. When I first saw this painting entitled "Woman in a Small Boat" I realized how soulfully this painting spoke to me. It is now one of my favorite works by Joanne. Take a moment to study the painting. ......... the woman is standing in a very small boat - her feet actually touch each side. How is she balancing? The stream appears to be moving swiftly carrying her along but she remains calm. Her face shows serenity and her blue clothing suggests peacefulness. Even the light blue rectangle in her heart area will suggest to you an energy or chakra area being lit. She is totally surrounded by a red outline - she is not static but rather actively participating. How does this speak of life? We may find ourself going "against the stream" or maybe allowing ourself to "go with the flow" In either situation we can remain balanced and calm feeling no fear.
PS - it is probably by no accident of display that you can see a Buddha statue sitting to the right of the painting in the corner of the window. This entire placement can give us a message of non attachment and freedom from fear if we so wish to embrace this.
