New Jerusalem

Nothing like a little quiet time on Super Bowl Sunday to get some creative work done. Guessing that's not the most popular way to spend the day, but I'll call it a win since I finally completed this project.  

Little different subject matter for me, but this piece has been in my head, and partially on canvas, for a while now.  Daydreaming in church one Sunday, I couldn't help noticing how the description of the New Jerusalem in Revelations 21 sounds a lot like an ET spaceship coming down to Earth.  Others might tell me I've watched too many Ancient Aliens episodes?  Eerie tidbit, I've been seeing 44's everywhere I look lately. I learned (or was reminded) that each side of the 'city' that descends from heaven is 144 cubits long, wide, and high. Another 44 to keep me guessing.

The number Three

The number three was the subject of a rerun episode of Ancient Aliens that I watched on TV this afternoon, and just happens to be my Life Path number in numerology.   Got me thinking about the number 3 today.  

Today's collage features a kaleidoscope of reds and yellows, along with a few other symbols:   

A classic Eames chair representing design and aesthetics, 

The number 3 representing my lifepath and career choices, 

Yellow representing the color of the third chakra (solar plexus chakra), 

A sea creature representing the stinging comments or reactions I sometimes receive from others around me,  

and A butterfly representing change and growth. 

Message from Ask And It Will Happen deck by Joanne Gregory:  

Don't Be A Victim.  

"Recognize when you are in victim mode and know you can be free of it. Make the choice to stop hurting. Choose to believe that you are doing better, and that good things are coming to you.  What you believe to be true will be."
