Collaborative Poetry – inspiration begets inspiration

“Ammonight” – 6″ x 6″ – Acrylics & ammonite on cradle board.

You’re invited to reflect on how today’s creative process mirrors your life?

Around the time of the October full moon, I started working on this painting with leftover paints & mediums from 2 other paintings.

A full moon circle ceremony later inspired its subject. Layer by layer, it evolved into what it is today – perfect in its many imperfections.

Since the painting didn’t whisper its name to me, I was then inspired to ask my Facebook Friends for suggestions.

44 people contributed names overnight.

From these, one spoke softly to my heart. Thanks Annie Parrell for  the name “Ammonight”.

And thanks to all who played with me –  your contributions were all incorporated into the poem below.

Nothing is created in pure isolation. We’re all connected and contributing to the creative flow. Inspiration begets inspiration.

Enjoy the results as we head towards the Cold Moon (Dec. 22nd) on the morning after Winter Solstice.

Ammonight

Oh Moon Mother,
Moonlight Pearl,
Your halo is the perfect offering
to the luminous cracks
of my spinning life.
*
Oh tempestuous moon,
Empress of the Night,
You feed my wanderlust,
My transformation,
My expansion.
*
I embark on this life flight,
To dive into the vortex
At the core of your illuminance
And rise above
The swirling currents
Of my moon shadows.
*
Ever-present sacred globe
Your lunar cycles
Illuminate the crackles
Of my sacred journey within.
In fullness I evolve
Unstuck between the cracks
In wholeness always.
*
Oh Evolution Moon,
Gateway to the galaxy,
You are the equinox
to my spiralling spirit
The entrance to Infinity.
*
Yes to the blessed moon shifts,
Sacred spirals spinning,
I finally understand that
The only constant in life
Is change itself.
*
This is my light shift
My Moon Effect
My Moonammonight cake.
*
I am of the illuminating crackle in the night.
I ammonight.

The Painting

So many different Golden professional paints & mediums went into the creation of such a small jewel – fluid colours, GAC 800, Crackle Paste, Clear Tar Gel, UVLS varnish.

I was also moved to incorporate an ammonite fossil. It symbolizes continual change and evolution. It’s a powerful earth healing fossil for health, prosperity, success and life path activation.

It’s all about intuition into action!
