Laurianne, Story of the Month

The painting here, “Soul’s Journey,” came about by wanting to experience the green and blue of earth and sky. The stones were those I collected from a lake. Sewing the three stones with varying colors of embroidery thread directly onto the canvas seemed fun! The leaves were added and the roots below to ground the flames.

Six years later, in a Family Constellation, three mysterious deceased beings appeared … the babies I had decided not to bear. I had not gone into the session to explore this issue, had told no one and had not been thinking about them. I went home that evening and was stunned to see the painting in my kitchen. The thread colors are pink and blue; the larger stone in the middle sewn with blue thread. I moved the painting to a place where I could see it when going to sleep and have been treasuring the image even more since then. I guess I have always been connected to my unborn babies, missed them, and never “knew” it. In the constellation, after blessing them and giving them a place in my heart, they were happy for me to flourish in this life.

A stranger had earlier written me a caption while viewing the painting as it hung in a show. He explained that it was a portrait of “the soul’s journey from mineral to spirit.” I was dumbfounded! Of course! That’s what it is.
