Some people bring god-energy down from the sky, others bring it up from the earth. For me that energy comes up from the earth, through the souls of my feet. I can feel it when I walk in the woods, but I can also feel it, when I pay attention, no matter where I am, my feet grounded. Up from the earth, through the souls of my feet, out through the palms of my hands, my fingertips, my words and the images I create. Messages from the earth.
Maria,
I totally understand. Thank you for this post.

It is beautiful.
Earth Message ROCKS !!!! You are on Fire !
That’s beautiful.
Beautiful! Love the colors and the visual expression of your spirit. I think it is for me one of your best (though I’m limited by what I can only see on your blog.) Truly special, Maria!
I would love to buy this! Is it for sale?
I think it may already be sold Micki, but thanks.
That is just beautiful; Love it!
Maria, that is an absolutely piece.

Sorry, meant to add beautiful:)
Beautiful!
Maria, this is just stunning! Are you selling this? It is as though you made it for me! It is beautiful!
Just glorious colors, balance, beauty.
Beautiful thoughts. I get my energy from the sky, the wind, the sun, the moon and stars. I always look up for healing, especially since I lost my beloved daughter. Somehow I think she’s up there, somewhere, I don’t know where but I feel it. So I look up, send her love, and hope she feels it.
That’s a beautiful feeling that you wrote about Becky.
Oh, Maria…what a lovely image. You describe perfectly my exact meditation when I need grounding and nurturing. If I had the money, my home would be completely full of your art. If I didn’t think you would get tired of hearing it, I would write each time you share your work and say, “That’s so wonderful!”
I love this Maria! Have you done anything with pranic energy?
Not really Debbie, just familiar with the breathing from yoga.
Hello Maria,
I’m such a big fan of you and Jon. I’ve read all his books for years and love watching both your blogs. I’m addicted actually!
I’m wondering what the above art work “Earth Message” is going to be and is it for sale? I’ve been waiting for one of your pieces that really speaks to me and I love this. I’m a composer and have been collecting Jon’s poems for some time. He once gave me permission to set some of it to music. I’m still working on it!
By the way the following is an email I sent long ago but for some reason it wouldn’t send so I’ll include it in this email.
Your “Open my heart and flying through the roof” poem made me think of a Rumi poem you might like:
Where Everything is Music
Don’t worry about saving these songs!
And if one of your instrument breaks, it doesn’t matter.
We have fallen into the place where everything is music.
The strumming and the flute notes
Rise into the atmosphere, and even if the whole world’s harp should burn up,
There will still be hidden instruments playing.
So the candle flickers and goes out.
We have a piece of flint, and a spark.
This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
Somewhere on the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
Of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
They derive from a slow and powerful root that we can’t see.
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
And let the spirits fly in and out.
Let me know about the artwork “earth message”.
Thank you!
Martha from Minneapolis
Thanks for the Rumi Poem Martha. I have a few people interested in the Earth Message piece. I’ll have to just go in the order of the asking and see who wants it. Thanks Maria
Oh, Maria..please..I must have this. Is it for sale? Sold? A perfect picture of how I feel when I am in the woods,,it has been my salvation…all this needs is a little white deer….
Love this one. I could feel it in my heart instantly upon seeing it. It really brings the sky and earth together as one.
