Thy Dream

Thy Dream

I slept and dreamed that life was Beauty
I woke and found that life was Duty.
Was thy dream then a shadowy lie?
Toil on, poor heart, unceasingly;
And thou shalt find they dream to be
A truth and noonday light to thee……

Words by Ellen Sturgis Hooper, 1823

For Zenia

This healing painting is dedicated to Zenia, who is a 27 year old woman living with a very rare form of cancer. She has been battling with it since she was 22 and is presently very, very unwell. Please think of her and send her and all her family healing energies. The next few days are crucial and they all need our support.

    lots of warm, healing thoughts go out to Zenia, such an intense, energetic image that shows the fight and courage for survival, may the warmth and light shine through her as beautifully as it does this precious painting. xox
