art edventures: Thanks-HEALING 2023

Dear human be-ing of love + healing Sara,

Thanks-giving in America is tomorrow and whatever shape or form of that day you participate in, and wherever you are in this world, my husband David (also known as the Angel of Love) and I send you Thanks-HEALING.

We are feeling gratefull and thankfull for all the miracles and healings in the midst of all the conflicts and despair.
As each of us heals and grows, we positively affect the healings of the whole collective.

Here is the text of my Healing All Ways poem:

Go inside for healing

Healing happens in spirals and layers

Within the layers lives the love

You are wrapped and woven in healing light

Allow all the mysteries of loss and change

When there is darkness, use your interior flashlight

Sit with pain, allow it to soften and change shape

Allow yourself to fall to pieces

Ask for and receive new kinds of help

Widen your field of acceptance

You Are So Deeply Loved

Sharing our thanks for every human being feeling + loving in this world.
