On the Terrace (Pink Afternoon)
Shipping included
16x20 inches, mixed media and oil on canvas.
Street view in New Orleans.
Watering flowers instead of weeds.
Treading through the thicket,
Cutting through reeds.
Open the heart. The path sometimes gets overgrown.
Let your bare feet dance across the grass and open your heart beyond.
Sometimes we get distracted and water the weeds.
Open your heart and find courage in the groundless trusting, the surrendering to grace,
And there you will find yourself,
Dancing barefoot on the marga
Watering flowers.
"Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.”― Carlos Castaneda
