Spring Is the Renewal Time for Self

Spring is the renewal time in the sea, the land, and especially within ourselves. We welcome Astronomical Spring as the ancients did, with the Sun hovering at the equator. Now that the The Equinox pause has ushered in Spring, tides surge, waves flow, and we feel new stirrings to reconnect, rebirth, and renew ourselves.

I light the candles, bring out my good luck Buddhas, make a fresh cup of tea, and wear my sandals in celebration of weathering another frozen season. Then, I painted Moonpath, a truly intuitive work of art that covered over what I thought it should be. This came from a place of truth deep inside.

Art, like life, makes visible, the surging invisible energies within us and below the ‘reality’ of all we see. Vast moving currents, the true power of the Source, live, grow, and breathe beneath the surface. Energy surrounds us constantly, just waiting to be directed by our conscious choices. Here is where our inner strength and resilience is born.

Moonpath lights the way, over shifting waves, foam, and deep blue-green tones, revealing so much more happening below. It’s like the Matrix, the subconscious with an underlying truth that informs ordinary reality.

Spring is the renewal time to discover our True Self.

What if this year, we don’t put yourselves out ‘there’ with more ‘to-do lists, or follow the usual path to success that everyone else is doing, but instead take the Inner Journey? This is the Hero’s Journey to reconnect with our Source, where our Truth lies. Any creation, reveal, or insight you discover there, changes your perception of your Self, your art, your life, of who you are. So who are you in your Being? What are you Becoming with each creation? Each paint stroke is like the fluttering butterfly wing, rippling out to change the world.

Being is something else. Events are an Insight to the Truth that lies beneath. We become the observer and creator of our lives with every conscious stroke. Every flow on the surface is the end result of forces, energies, emotions, and movement lying deep within. The Unknown far below offers many doorways to enter, caves to explore, creatures to meet, and directions to discover. Secrets lie here with hidden passions we have yet to experience. We draw to us all the connections and people in our lives, but there is so much more meaning beneath each encounter, if we only look deeper.

This is a return to Soul, your Beingness. Let’s journey beneath the waves. Imagine yourself diving beneath the magic sea, where you easily breathe, flow, and exist. A deep silence sets in. Breathing slows down. You become a different creature under the waves. Colors change, creatures appear, and currents pull you along through worlds of coral, dancing plants, and sunken treasure. Here, without titles, jobs, or schedules, who are you at your core? Beneath the surface waves, one can be fully present. Who is the real you at your Source? What really matters when you are alone with your soul?

I believe if we do more breathing, and pause before acting, we slow life down. Let’s gift ourselves with a pause to create Sacred Space and Timeless moments. When done in mindfulness, this becomes a spiritual act, a vision quest, creating more meaning, compassion, and peace.

It has to be a conscious effort, to pull away from the surface world, and take the deeper dive into unknown territory. Ask your Inner Wisdom what is really happening here? Write down all your impressions since they disappear as quickly as a dream.

I get to this timeless now with intuitive painting. Like visualizing under the sea, a journey can be whatever you choose to create from the heart. Some love to do stream of consciousness writing, others paint, or collage found objects. Adventurous souls wander in Nature, consciously seeking signs about their inner life and direction. Whatever your choice, go with what makes you happy today. Live in the present moment, make a choice, act on it, and then make another. Keep following the good, filling, loving feelings to refresh, renew, and impact your life.

The reveal of Moonpath, comes to me over time. Truth appears like a light bulb moment, in a dream, or when I first wake in the morning. Often surprising, I find it’s exactly what I needed to realize at this time.

In this sacred sanctuary, this safe haven, the Truth of your Essence lives, waiting for you to come home to your Self. Therefore, explore the inner world this Spring, and discover the treasures, renewal, and the eternal ancient depth of meaning, waiting to reveal itself. You may be pleasantly surprised.

See how I combined Nature and Art to create original beauty.
