Heres a lol story. I have a friend named Ruth Starr Strayhorn. She is a painter. A very talented painter. She had painted a picture of some beautiful flowers and it is roughly 4 1/2 ft. by 3 ft. It was for the Ecuador auction and I am the proud recipient. I also have a very large window in the dining room that takes up the whole outside wall. It has a window bench that flows along the length of said window. Having no where else to put the painting, I laid it on the window bench. Actually I think it looks quite nice against the window on the bench. Normally I would not speak of my spiritual practices because I think that is something between God and I. The thing is that somehow the picture and the practice combined into a hysterical afternoon Saturday. So I had been fasting. My emotions and mental state were a little on the edge. It wasnt the lack of food that was getting me. It was the awareness, of my mind, my spirit, my physical being and probably a few other things that I cant quite put a name to. I was tidying up around the house and walked into the dining room and the picture caught my attention and stopped me in my tracks. The flowers were glowing, fluorescent!! It was as if they were coming alive! Was I tripping from the fast? Honestly I thought it was a really cool experience. It was like a fast and a blast!! I decided to get closer and really get into this new found spiritual awareness. I touched it. It is then I realized that it was just the sun. It was no other worldly experience it was just the sun shining through the picture. Sometimes I really wonder about myself?
