DESCENT SERIES II
Plumbing the creative depths in search of oneness

As I was beginning this painting to give form to the experience of Inanna appearing to me that morning and the sequence of synchronistic events, I could feel Her presence. This was the first time had had a conscious awareness of Her guiding presence, which would be with me from that time forth. I had begun the image of the pink draped figure when I was aware of Her and a knowing came to me that I needed to include the dark-skinned  figure, these representing the light and dark aspects of myself and the goddess.

A month later I sat at the well of Inanna in Turkey (under my left hand) and remembered my time as a priestess in Her temple and my ultimate sacrifice. I could feel Her holding me as sobs shook me to the core and She whispered, "In the past you sacrificed your life and  power for me. This time you do not have to sacrifice anything. You are here to remember how to hold that creative power and be a healing presence on the planet"
