Painting Dreams
After the Mary Magdalene Celebration, I was exhausted and sad for a few hours. And then the love started pouring in. People called me to let me know how much they enjoyed. All the details I had been worrying about had not been as bad as I thought. My mood transformed, and I realized that my goal had been accomplished, and that people had received the work as I had intended.
