The art of Womb
'The process of creating art is often described in quasi-mystical terms, whereby the artist-as-shaman unleashes or channels special creative powers in a process of making that transports the viewer to a different realm of the imaginary. Given these affinities between the roles of art and spirituality, it is unsurprising that spirituality is an enduring feature of contemporary art.'

''Channel of Embodiment"
France
I was walking the labyrinth before and before and before
trying to catch the glimpse of the Death
for I knew I had been in love with Her
But than wisdom came, a light coming through tiniest of the hands
and melted sorrow, horror and isolation
and I realized the walls were just shadows in the Holy desert of Fire,
protecting.
Suddenly I was in an open space, so yearned,
breathing in depth I felt the Death was walking with me hand in hand all the time,
being just another side of the coin, called Life.

The Softening
The softening will feel hard
Dearmouring will feel like battle
Rattling memories and timelines
Bringing your face to the hurt
Smashing all you’ve grown to know
The happy will feel sad as the grief has its way
As the snow melts around your heart
You want to shut it down
so it can never hurt again
Reality will not be given fact
You’ll do everything you can to prove your pain
Your burning scripts right somehow
Want to tear down your very own lovechild
Clean presence will feel engulfing
Maybe you left yourself for someone else
Ate their pain and made it your own
Forgot your care for life
Made it mean you were unworthy
The truth is no one ever left
We weren’t taught these things
It’s not your fault
The vaults of love were well guarded
There’s no place for the faint of heart
You’ll see how strong you really are
That’s part of the deal
It will feel like dying
Like heart pounding, tectonic body shaking anxiety and fear are never going to end
The kindness will sting
Presence will purge you
To make space
You will think you’re going crazy
You will
You will feel you’ve been estranged
You are
Just as river flows to sea
You’ll be lost to your former self
As identity merges and sips from the formless
You’ll want to leave, give up
Then you’ll shift and flow again
Find a rhythm with your heart to guide
Surrender cracks you open
Reconnected
The rawness gets befriended
It gets easier
To hold on
Trust becomes you
The tides keep turning
You ride the waves to new shores
Behold yourself there waiting
To welcome you
Saying
You
Are so much more than enough
You are
Magical, playful, luminous one
Unlearning all that would block your sight
Reforging pathways of joy
Connection, cosiness, cocoons
To birth from
Endlessly
(Natalie)
Sacred alchemist
That home feeling is
Who you are
In your arms and in the arms of another
You rest in God’s heart
Alone or together,
All one.
