“This is not a time of mere change. This is a time of transformation, and transformation comes not out of scarcity but out of the context of possibility, responsibility, and sufficiency.” ~Lynne Twist

Welcome!

If you're new to Making Meaning Monday, please know that this is NOT the twice-monthly Art of Aloha eNewsletter. This eNews goes out on Mondays to a small group of people around the world interested in finding, making, and living a meaningful life. You're invited to reply with your thoughts and impressions of the painting posted in the middle of this post. You can't get this wrong.

Here are your thoughts on last week’s image:

Charles: This one is quite interesting, in a structural sense — it looks floral, but also edible, a strawberry on a butter-frosted cupcake? Regardless, it is warm and positive, edging toward a good stretch. Or maybe I'm just hungry? : )

Harmony: Nature is unfolding new and, as of yet, unknown surprises for us.

Laura: A seed, total package of what will become.

Solar power lifts life to source

Clear blue skies ahead

Angela: This week's image evokes a flower, having lived out it's beautiful life, the petals wilt but reveal the center, where the seeds grow. Giving us hope for new life to begin, again.

Patrice: Fresh blooms hold seeds of all possibilities — good and those we judge less good to come. It’s all in our perception. We hold the power of our thoughts. Sunrise turns to sunset at the end of each day. Seeds come forth, go forth, take root, or not. Nurture the energy, your energy. Your seeds are many and still
coming. Release them to make room for more. Release. There is always a process of release.

Thank you for sharing your Deep Inner Work with us.

Intention-setting Image for Week 48 of 2020:

Each week, I prepare for this intuitive painting by closing my eyes, breathing deeply, centering myself, and setting my intention to be of service to all of us at Making Meaning Mondays through the painting created. Then I paint what comes to mind.

To enrich your experience, pause to S-L-O-W down as you gaze at and breathe in the energy of this painting. Close your eyes and notice the thoughts that come to you. Feel free to consciously ask what information or what intention this painting holds for you.

Setting an intention for an hour, for a day, or even for a week, is a powerful way to hone your focus, and to give yourself the freedom to stretch your imagination, allowing fresh energies into your life.

Feel free to share your thoughts with us. If there's anything you'd rather I not share with the group, please let me know.

Aloha Pumehana,
Patrice
