“Real generosity toward the future lies
in giving all to the present.” ~Albert Camus

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:

Bev: I looked and stared for a while. This made me think that angry thoughts can actually turn into bright happy ideas. If you let them.

Angela: I see either a jellyfish getting ready to pounce on its prey or a spaceship descending on a small city at nighttime. Either way I see a call to action, with guidance from the Light.

Patrice: We’re moving forward in our light. Our angst is still with us even as our light eases its heaviness. The future looks bright. Now is the space in which we live and work. Now. Now. Now. Use what you have now as you move forward into your new now. Focusing on your light helps to move it forward. Focusing on your angst, keeps you anchored to it. Incorporate lessons learned by offering them to the light. Feel yourself grow stronger every day.

Thank you for sharing your Deep Inner Work with us.

Intention-setting Image for Week 52 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
