How are there only 11 comments?! This was beautifully coneveyed both in message and expression of the art.
The story telling speaks to me deeply. At the start of this year, my inner spirit was clouded by the gray paint strokes of ego. It wasnt until I hit a massive spiritual awakening, that I had to learn to unlearn. And then in the process of letting go, to retain what was always there.
We all have light within us. We need not cover it with a bushel as the Bible says but let our unique light shine forth! 🌅👑🌈
