You must ask for what you really want
This line from a Rumi poem kept playing in my mind as I painted this piece. I kept asking myself what it was trying to tell me. This is what I know. I wake up in the morning, and in a small vase are strands of some wild grain I picked in a field near where my parents live. I carried them across the ocean with me. There was something it gave me that I didn’t want to let go of. The grain is weightless and airy, colors changing with the environment. One minute the softest glow, and the next deep warm in the morning’s light. They were on my table for a week, and somehow, they made the room lighter, like the energy of flying birds. The painting is the morning, when things are just beginning. Perhaps all we want sometimes is the chance to start anew. “The universe is on your side”, they say and truly when we know what we really want, and ask for it, I do believe it will be there.
