Musing and ramblings from Stonesthrow - my backyard cottage.

Her Dreams Are Brewing

When I was talking with my spiritual director this weekend, I was going on about how I have all these things I want to do creatively and spiritually and that I was unsure of what I was supposed to be doing and what direction I wanted to head in next.

She encouraged me to recognize that I was in an "in-between" place at the moment, a transition, and to be comfortable in this place.  To rest in my creativity.

And then she said she had this image of a large pot, or cauldron.  Mixing it all together and brewing up what's next.  This collage came out of that image.

This weekend, I will be walking the labyrinth while on retreat and wondering what it is that I will bring in and what I will choose to take out.

Your artwork is very direct and inspiring.  Butterfly symbolizing flight and freedom and the woman 'brewing' in the cauldron, along with your meaningful words, is simply perfect.  I can so relate to this as I am too "in between" and not liking it.  I have not heard of a spiritual director before but feel that it must be a great sense of comfort.

Thanks chameleon.  Resting in the transition is the hardest part for me....I have just started working with a spiritual director (who basically is a bit like a "coach" and a bit like someone who companions you on your journey)but find it very helpful for sorting things out.
