Agalia it’s quite amazing how this appeared but its definitely there! I’m glad you like it! I’m glad you also called it dramatic! I always wanted to be an actress, how would Spirit have worked it’s magic then? They would definitely have locked me up and thrown away the key! Painting is much safer I feel? What do you think?Sx

it reminds me of souls incarcerated in prison cells… a bit sad… but yes, I guess there are a lot of souls that are unable to escape their own demons in order to break free… wonderful work as always Sophie, I don’t think there’s anything you create that doesn’t manage to move me in some way.

You are a very perceptive and sensitive woman full of intuitive understanding. It is important to realise that everyone is on the same journey as ourselves, some have it harder, some easier but life has a way of balancing the scales and what may seem as injustice today is under a different guise tomorrow. I can see the incarcerated Souls you talk about and know that their pain exists. We need to remember them in our thoughts and transmit Loving-Kindness for their Spirit. Sx
