Oh Ann. You know how this resonates with me, having unknowingly invited my own inner child out to play through my creative process. So I know why this piece feels as it does - meaningful, reflective, and respectful. Giving her and yourself time to just be and grow is magical and you have created and grown so much beauty in that time. I also felt the weight in the line "There are many more canvases waiting" - there's always a blank canvas waiting! Thanks for sharing this and I cannot wait to see the painting when it's done.

Liz, it means a lot to me that this writing resonated with you. I know you understand the reparenting... hell, it might just be parenting... for the first time! Much gratitude for the blank canvases... hope.

So profoundly insightful. You take us so thoughtfully on your journey of self discovery and your wisdom is worth noting. That little girl is precious and powerful. The wind blows but she stands strong and tall. You still do. Love you, Ann. 🩷🩷🩷
