The Painting - which withstood the fire


My spirit guide drawing of Joseph and book jacket cover done by Deb Hanna

Almost a decade ago, I asked a friend of mine who is a visionary artist to create a spirit guide drawing for one of my daughters. My daughter, at the time had recently miscarried a baby, was in a strange city and feeling alone with loss and adjustment. The drawing became a point of conversation with my daughter, image of feeling life was safe, and better days were to come. Shortly after receiving the drawing, she once again became pregnant and brought the first of two granddaughters into this world. The drawing through the years remained in her home.
Five years ago this spring, a fire engulfed her home, total loss with heat so intense the cross beams burned also. The spirit guide drawing was sitting on a shelf above the point of origin of the fire, although everything in the home was lost – the drawing itself was found intact without even smoke damage. A spiritual guide image persevered through the fire when nothing else remained.
Spiritual art or more commonly known now as visionary art is an artisan gift exemplified through images, which bring a connection in visual form between the unseen to the seen. In a true visionary artist drawing and painting as a physical link between spirit and mortal, the creation takes on properties of guidance and protection, which exceeds logic or explanation. Portals of creation such as Deb Hanna has created for 30 years with the intent of bringing images into our world for others as a bridge of communication. Deb has a page on face book, which shows images of her paintings outside of spiritual guide drawings.
Life, although it seems a mystery becomes clearer when we allow and accept:
What is real is imagined, what is imagined is real and finally "it just is." Faith and trust will propel you to your highest levels!
Blessings

Safety should be considered first when granting parole

-
Today the city of Kansas City, KS is mourning the loss of detective Brad Lancaster, Hearing a call for assistance he was one of the first on the scene regarding a possible car jacking and in responding was shot and killed by a man who had received early parole, serving less than a year of a sentence and released. To hear this made me sick inside, another criminal paroled only to commit murder shortly after wards. A friend of mine in 2004 was left butchered in her flower garden by a man who she had put in prison for domestic violence who had been paroled on good behavior and was seen as not being a threat to society. Both paroled by the State of Kansas early. If records were looked at, these are probably not isolated incidents. Robin left children and grandchildren in this world, Detective Lancaster left a family, and two small children as well. Anyone who has known somebody who has been murdered does not forget. If anything is to come of these tragedies I would hope and pray t...

Spiritual Windows – My perception

Spiritual Windows – My perception   I have been writing for seven years on spirituality through my website http://www.myspiritualwindows.info and in blog form, without addressing my own interpretation of Spiritual Windows. Yet, I find more individuals then ever before searching for the answer to what a spiritual window might be. Within this article, for the first time publicly I will answer that question from my own interpretation I received many years ago. Mortality chooses to find acceptance with life/death and at times reincarnation for explanation in searching beyond the known to the unknown "How do you get there?" Our world is shifting in a thirst beyond not only the written but also the evidence of the unknown. Ms.Walters segment was somewhat limited to proving or disproving the major faiths of this world such as Christianity, Muslim, and Mormon and included a very small inclusion of Spirituality and Atheists. Interesting perspectives from all interviewed, yet leavin...

The Parable of the Fork - Author unknown

-
I first read this about 20 years ago in a email and it came back into my head today. Once read you will never totally forget as a parable is meant to be.   The Parable of the Fork There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a deadly illness and had been given 3 months to live. Her doctor told her to start making preparations to die so she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what she wanted to be wearing. The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.  Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. There's one more thing. She said excitedly. What's that? came the pastor's reply. This is very important. The woman continued. I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand. ...
