Cross of Life

This little cross brought me so much Joy to create.
Feelings of peace and harmony as I strolled along the beach collecting different shapes and pieces and shards of shells. They all had an energy that I couldn’t pass up and I saw the beauty in each of them no matter how tumbled or broken they were.
When I sat down and allowed creativity to flow, fractured shells were not seen.They became one and made the beauty of this cross.
I made this cross for my son that has had many struggles with addiction in the past.Many times I judged him and wanted him to be that perfect shell that I wanted to show off.
You see it was me that was broken. I didn’t see the beauty in him beyond outside circumstances.
When I opened up to see a deeper dimension within myself is when I saw more wholeness within him.
My belief system of what I thought others should be or do only reflected my disconnect from this oneness that we are all connected too.
My two Sons, through all their struggles have enlightened the true being within me.They have touched a place within themselves that is the depth of whom they truly are.
Their light has lit the way for me,and touched many others.
IT IS ONLY WHEN WE
STOP
TRYING TO MOLD
OUR CHILDREN,
SPOUSES,
LOVE ONES,
AND SOCIETY,
( our one dimensional thinking)
THAT
WE WILL BE TRULY FREE
And
JOIN TOGETHER IN CREATING
THE CROSS OF LIFE
SENDING LOVE,
Debi💛💫
