Nests in the past

I love these two paintings... even though they were painted in times of struggle. I felt very alone building the nest... even though my husband worked the farm and was managing the addition onto the house, I was often alone. It felt as though I had really gone out on a limb being a wife and mother.  The long narrow painting was about Time and the midnight care of my son that probably connected me to other mothers across the globe. I consoled myself with the thought that while I was up nursing, rocking, and living without sleep, other women were in their own houses doing it too. I collaged individual panels of house shaped wood panels so that we would really be connected.

Just recently I had my birth-chart prepared by Leigh Oswald. She was able, by recording and anticipating the track of the planets from the time of my birth and over the years, to give some amazing precise details about my life's path. She also gave me an acceptance and understanding of my motivations and needs as well. I highly recommend her if you are in an uncomfortable time and unsure what is going on. Some of what she told me actually helped me be kinder to myself.

I was born in the middle of the night at the first part of a new day. My mother used all the drugs the doctors would provide and says the delivery was quiet psychedelic.
