Skyward
Look skyward into the deep blue mystery.
The same mystery is reflected in my eyes.
Float with the cloud forms
Passing above this vast planet.
Somewhere there is peace.
Someplace there is joy.
It might even be right here, right now.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
I encountered this paint filly one day looking at me through a fence. She was pure innocence and delight. As I knelt to greet her and looked up, I noticed her colorful coat reminded me of the clouds, and her blue eye was the color of the sky, and just as vast.
I created her painting to remember that moment. It has since meant many things to many people. She reminds us to be grounded and present, while still looking skyward.
This painting is also the card for Sky of Mind in the Way of the Horse Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery Book and Card Set by Linda Kohanov.
