The Moon, The Stars & A Sea of White Flowers

Isn't this a beautiful picture? Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a google images fan. And just as on life's sometimes meandering path, often the google adventure offers you the greatest joy in things you weren't even looking for. I was searching for an image of a moon and stars. This is one of my own sacred symbols, something I draw on scraps of paper at random moments when I'm looking for my own inspiration. Moons and stars speak to me of mystic possibilities, of the infinite potential that exists in the heavens when we allow ourselves to stop, and breathe, and ask our highest selves for access to our own deep, divine, celestial wisdom.

So I went to the uber-source of cyber possibilities -- the great and wondrous google -- and found this lovely, inspired picture. And guess what? It's not even a painting. It's something called a floorcloth. Yep, apparently, you're supposed to walk on it...Isn't that delightful? It's like stepping into your own indigo sea of divine intuition.

Better still, the flowers are narcissus, named for the doomed Greek youth who fell in love with his own reflection. And yet, in our modern world, how often is simple self-curiosity or satisfaction interpreted as vanity or conceit. It's such a fine line for us, especially we women -- trying to maintain our sense of self and worth, when so often we are told to be gracious, kind, or selfless, often at our own expense.

So I invite you to walk into the picture above, perhaps in meditation, and ask yourself what great self-truths you might learn from it. Do you need more access to the mystic wisdom of the moon and stars? Or perhaps it's the narcissus that draws you, offering secrets for deeper self-love? Whatever path this picture leads you to, follow it. Ask yourself the questions, and then open your heart. The answers are within you, in that still, quiet place.

And if you want more information on floorcloths, I offer you this, from floorcloths.com:

If you have never heard of nor know about floorcloths, you will be delightfully surprised to discover what an elegant and practical solution they provide for your home. Floorcloths have been around for a long time. They date back to Europe and early America, and were originally designed by Quakers to be alternative, affordable floor coverings. Today, floorcloths are re-emerging as a creative combination between art and craft. They offer practical, carefree use as a rug while being a beautiful and decorative work of art. In essence, floorcloths are fine art canvas rugs.


The name of the company that creates them? Bliss Studios. Perfect! : ) (www.floorcloths.com)
