Oh, Marylinn, I love this! Duy Huynh's image and, too, the line 'Anything with the ability of flight'.
Sometimes I think we could do with a communal 'dressing-up box' with wings and things to share around so that when we can't find or feel our own wings, we have spare sets to borrow from. Everyone would benefit, yes?
Much love xo
nice, claire! and marylinn, i thought you already walked several inches above the ground?
Claire - What a grand notion, sharing wings from the communal box. Growing up, a good friend's mother created costume drawers in their hallway. I'm sure there must have been spare wings in there - we needed them for the times we climbed out her bedroom window and down the tree, then back up, undetected. Being able to spend time away from, time out of, our own density, Earthboundness, has to be good for the soul. Everyone would benefit. xoxo
Susan - How I managed to pull off that illusion I do not know, but thank you for thinking it so. We need to put Claire's thought into immediate practice. Too often gravity, by any of its definitions, overcomes us. Wings for all. xoxo
exactly how I feel today - perfect, thank you

Beautifully beautifully. Liftoff.

Yes. I just read an editorial in the NYT about book covers and how many of them feature women with their backs to us, their shoulders, a part of their faces in shadow.
This painting is perfect because all of us can be her. She has my face, your face because she is turned away. Lifting off. toes pointed toward the ground. Effortless.
Denise - I hope you still feel this way today. I am a bit behind with responses and such. Love the illustration. xo
Rebecca - Lightness, buoyancy for us all. xo
Beth - After your comment, I began to notice the number of covers with women depicted as you described. I wonder what it means. Now this piece, yes, any and all of us, and with, to me, such a sense of absolute rightness. Of course this is how it is supposed to work. xo
