By Amaya Gayle GregoryThe world seems pretty damn real. It’s near impossible to be in the middle of the chaos and remain open to the possibilities of lived grace, of love, of heaven right here on Earth and yet, that is what we are asked to do if anything but what is currently made manifest is to be realized. I used to call it disbelieving appearances. Now I see that something much more profound than mental mastery is required. We can’t just disbelieve. We must truly deeply absolutely, not on the periphery, but all the way in, permeating penetrating the…
… the shows went very well and today was a day to focus on relaxing and enjoying the day … a huge thank you to everyone who turned out for the shows … it was fun having so many of you there. I spent time this evening looking through a folder with a lot of flowers and settled in on the one with lilies and came up with these two.
