a gathering # 7

a series study.. because i loved the bundle of leaves i found on a walk..wrapped in worm thread. It has such a spiritual look and feel to it… i was fascinated by how it caught the light differently with every angle… the light source was just the late afternoon sun.

  • Sophie Shapiro

    Sophie Shapiro

    B! you have a clear and direct knowing from within! Some call it a hunch, others a gut feeling but I call it intuitiveness! You understand and have a knowingness that comes without explanation as to how or why! You have ESP but much broader and it functions on your physical, emotional, mental and Spiritual levels! There is a very strong feeling in this series that your Spirit guides or entities are communicating with you. Do look up the work of American parapsychologist Louisa Rhine who identified intuition as one of the four forms in which ESP messages enter the consciousness; the other three are hallucinations, realistic dreams, and unrealistic dreams (which are highly symbolic). I think you will find her work interesting, I know I did! This is wonderful B! We are interconnected and your work has the ability to stir thoughts, feelings and understanding…..even when we don’t communicate! Wonderful B! Thinking of you, hope you have a wonderful week! Hope you’re feeling better, I have been thinking about you!Sx

  • butchart replied

    Your comments always stun me Sophie… in the best of ways.. you hold a mirror up to my psyche….. and for that i am truley greatful… i will indeed floow your wisdom and research Louisa Rhine… you have yet to steer me to a wrong path…...... thank you my wonderful spirit across the way…......xox…......b
