Growing Wings

Recently, I returned from a Peaks course - Never Work Again. During this course, I was submerged once more in the energy which I consider to be one of the most empowering, healing and true currently in existence on the face of the Earth. The flights from Palm Springs - the location of the course - back home to Edmonton were two two-hour long flights with a three hour stop-over in Denver.

 

Now, I haven't really been to the US that much at the point of this writing, so I don't know a lot about airports - and certain not a thing about which airports might be extremely nice and which airports might be extremely not-nice. However, I am of the opinion that Denver International Airport is truly an amazing space. This is for four principal reasons:

1. It's an airport I stopped over at when I was coming from a Peaks course -which always surrounds it with a great energy
2. It has moving sidewalks
3. It has free and, quite amazingly, fast WiFi - I was able to hammer out a great amount of my first post there... And...
4. It has a wonderful shop called "Mosaic" in there - right to the left of the Paris-meets-Vegas Eiffel-tower-dwarf look-alike, thing.

 

It's there that I found an amazing, heart-lifting, spirit-guiding and Universe-channeling book titled Growing Wings by a remarkable American artist named Kristen Jongen.

 

Now, when I say "remarkable American artist" I don't mean a lady who paints horses like they're really jumping out of the picture at you. I don't mean a lady who paints amazingly realistic portraits, or a lady who makes still-life breathe. I'm talking about a lady who almost brought me to tears reading her art and poetry and journal book - and that was on a plane, y'know, not too great to be sniffling on a plane (too many people forming too many different conclusions).

 

Growing Wings showcases a smorgasbord of inspirational and deeply-though-out artwork along with a few poems and a narrative which guides us through a heart-wrenching journey through a period of Jongen's life.

 

Since becoming a Quantum Leap Student of Peak Potentials, I've been shown what more there is to Life and how important our own personal outlook is when we move down our path through the years. Jongen's paintings and poems and her own personal story truly resonate with me on that level. Her paintings incorporate flowing snippets of poetic words which emobody the truths we uncover once we remove the conditioning and the outer shell that we accumulate over the course of our lives.

 

A truly touching read with I'm-gonna-go-buy-mountains-of-art-supplies inspiring artwork,Growing Wings by Kristen Jongen is a great read - and full of good value. Makes a great gift, as well - and you might want to include some art supplies if you're giving it to a person known to pick up hobbies easily.

 

Live in the now, release the past and smile for the future.

Namaste,
