Think of her not in the ways you've been told/sold.
Rather, seek her with your own eyes without blinkers
and your own heart without shutters.
Look low instead of high.
Look right under your nose.
She comes in many guises and disguises.
Hidden, right out in the open.
And you will know her immediately by her immaculate
and undivided heart for humanity.
She is one who is present in every way. In so understanding
one's own pull to the Holy Woman, thus do we untie the Strong Woman.
Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Untie the Strong Woman
The above extract from Dr Estes' wonderful, powerful, inspirational new book inspired my entry for Inspiration Avenue's team challenge of Textures.
I have used a mixture of acrylics, water colour, masking, charcoal and gold dust for this rendition of Untie the Strong Woman.
