What Am I to Thee?

Am I a tree?

Am I a woman?

Am I a she-tree?

Am I a Goddess?

Am I a Spirit?

Am I a Goddess-Spirit-Tree?

What am I to Thee?

 

Am I the knowing eyes, seeing all hidden from sight?

Am I the deep listening, hearing secrets long buried deep?

Am I the one who sees and hears soul's whispers?

What am I to Thee?

 

 

Am I the soft rustle of leaves on a balmy eve?

Am I the soft flutter of newly hatched wings?

Am I the soft velvet of rose petals?

Am I the fanciest of costumes, turning heads?

What am I to Thee?

Am I the wildness of wind-swept hair?

Am I the steadfast-ness of aged trunk?

Am I the flighty-ness of startled wing?

Am I the fragility of  new blossom?

What am I to Thee?

 

Am I a mother's tender kiss?

Am I the first tentative stretch of wings?

Am I a new seedling pushing through earth?

Am I the first twirl on the dance-floor?

Am I the first rays of the morning sun?

What am I to Thee?

 

Am I the drum of rain on tin?

Am I the crackle of campfire?

Am I the call of song-bird?

Am I the sweet silence of old-growth forest?

Am I the bathing light of pinks as the sun says good-night?

Am I the soft glow of full moon?

Am I the dance of moonlight on still waters?

What am I to Thee?

 

 

Am I Love's first tender touch?

Am I that breath-taking moment?

Am I Grace about to take flight?

What am I to Thee?

 

 

Am I the mystery of glimpses on a darkened night?

Am I the promise of a Lover's first kiss?

Am I the beat of new heart in the womb?

Am I a thousand life-times growing as one?

Am I all of this, yet much more?

What am I, if I am not Thee?

 

 



"She-Tree" was painted during a six week intensive on-line course called DEEP with Connie from Dirtyfootprints Studio. This was my third time delving DEEP-er into my intuitive practise with Connie. I've been fortunate enough to take DEEP twice, the second time, it extended into a double journey, this painting is the result of the second round of six weeks of that second class. Every time I paint with this hot chica I learn more about intuitive painting, my own art practise, learning to listen (and I mean really listen), connecting with Source and about myself then I bargain for.  I thank Connie DEEP-ly for allowing me this opportunity yet again and for the many gifts that journeying with her and a Tribe of amazing painting-sisters and all that the experience/s have afforded me.  I am blessed.
