"Orange Cyclamen" Okay, yes, I know there aren't actually orange colored cyclamen (Yet...that we know of...) except maybe in the wilds of Greece or Turkey 'Mother Nature' is creating one! But what I really want to talk about is the fact that I "made a choice" to paint orange cyclamen. And because I have been messing about with complementary colors, and I wanted to continue, I went "OFF MENU" and made the usually pink/white/red flower ORANGE. I think that our job today is to snatch our power back...to NOT live in the land of 'pseudo choice'. I have been fed a context that the world is a certain way, but today, especially in "this graceless age" I choose to see a much bigger and wider picture, and rather than accepting the binary that is being handed to me: it's either THIS or THAT....Nope, I am a woman human, and therefore in charge of bringing aliveness into this world. So I am going to turn my light UP, because I bring the "current of life"! And so, I am going to paint orange cyclamen!
