Gilda and Gabriel Under the Moon

"Gilda and Gabriel Under the Moon" - acrylic on cradled wood panel, 11" x 14" x 1.5". Ready to hang.  Available here and at Artfinder.

By the light.....of the hot pink moon...

And then there were more witches.  This one, Gilda, cannot seem to get messenger, Gabriel, to vacate his perch and allow her a moment for broom flying under the moon.  If she's a smart witch, she won't shake him off.  She might look and listen and ponder.  It is hard to stop and breathe when messengers appear in the middle of things.  

How many times have I looked back and said "AHA!  There was a message!" after I barged past it to keep up with whatever I had planned for the day? Messages from the universe are rarely conveniently timed.  I'd wager they appear MOSTLY when we are rushing about.  And maybe BECAUSE we are rushing about.  Hmmm.
There is so much busyness and hurrying in the modern world.  Some of it self-imposed, some of it imposed by others.    We begin to think it is normal, expected, beneficial, even. I am the WORST offender on this topic - productivity is balm for my angsty-ness.   

So that's that.  I am tossing out my "to do" list today (EEEEK!  PANIC!) and just going with the flow.  Oh, and perhaps I should set down this broom, too.

The inside lining of Gilda's hat, the moonshadow cooling her fevered rush-rush brow, her broom as guitar—all pulling me in to pause and let my own rush-rush slide off my shoulders like so much celestial silk.

Thanks, Jen!

Throwing away the to-do lists ... good idea... but somehow they are still running around in our heads. Keep the broom handy, you may need it for a ride singing all the way!
Jumping in the cool pool always helps me clear my head!
