Gifted
I might be a little late to realize this, but I just finished a painting that really spoke to me. As I stood there, admiring it, I found myself in an internal dialogue—reflecting on how important it is to step aside and allow the process to flow naturally. It’s in those moments, when I get out of my own way, that the most beautiful parts come through.
In that quiet reflection, I offered my gratitude to the muse—thanking it for the dance, for the gift of inspiration. It’s a mysterious and profound experience, this dance with the unexplainable, where I’m able to gather these gifts and bring them back to share with the world.
I believe that’s what being truly gifted means: stepping into a space of openness, receiving something far greater than myself, and then sharing it. Today, I understand—I am truly gifted.
