To recount the pains and hurts I have been dealt in this life, or to recount the blessings and joys I have been given.
Pains.
or Blessings.
One choice leads to anger and bitterness, the other leads to joy and bliss.
So - which will I choose today?
I think the answer is obvious -- why do I so often choose the wrong thing?
and today, instead of a journal page, I am posting my latest Power Animal Portrait - I am particularly happy with this Great Snowy Owl -- he will guide me in my Shamanic work and I an honoring him with this portrait above my journey place in the studio.
The energy of the spirit of animals is so healing, and I feel honored to be able to create these pieces to remember this, reminding me of the point of it all.
To Choose Bliss.
Have a blissful day!
"The spirit must be felt so intensely that it has power to call others in passing, for it must pass, not stop in the pictures..." --Emily Carr
You're right...it is all in attitude. How we feel is so much determined by our attitude..we generally do feel how it is that we WANT to feel.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...you've given me so much to think about today. (And maybe I can actually gear my attitude toward having a batter day than usual!)
Peace & Love,
~Barb~
