Interesting synchronicity: I saw the title of the second painting you featured was "Saint Cecilia" and I became curious who she was. I am an Orthodox Christian and I was unfamiliar with her story. I looked her up and it turns out that TODAY (November 22) is her feast day on which the Church commemorates her. Crazy unlikely odds!

I will say a prayer to her on your behalf, that she may intercede for you and grant you divine grace on this journey of yours. Best of luck moving forward with The Artemisian!

Oh, an interesting coincidence, indeed! Saint Cecilia is one I feel particular affinity towards, as I am myself a musician. She feels like a guiding figure in my art and creative work :)

Thank you for the prayers!

Beautiful insights. So happy to hear your renewed focus had lit that fire.

My offer from before stands, too, if you want to dig in more.

Inspiring! I love symbolic undercurrents, guiding us, when we remember to listen. Thanks for sharing this.

In some ways, finding a book like that could be a relief. No matter current feelings, there is a path written out for you so you can take off some pressure of what you "should" be doing

Exactly, that was the feeling, like a sense of ease and relief. I still think there’s a tension between the fated path and how I’m co-creating with it, but the book really helped remind of the greater picture.

Ohh!! I feel like I need to pull the 4 of Swords out and do some journaling on it.
