Wisdom from Within

I love the idea of wisdom and comfort coming from a caring, knowing source. Call that source what you will; angelic, spiritual, or an expression of one's own psyche, it is a welcome voice along the day to day business of life. Getting to know yourself is a life-long journey full of interesting twists and turns and for someone of a visual turn, like myself, I enjoy drawing on the imagery of angels. I am particularly fond of the medieval creatures who are often richly clothed in reds and have wings full of peacock feather eyes. We live in such a mechanised world it is fun to return to a world that was steeped in the presence of spiritual beings and exercise the imagination a bit!- at least when considering the benign aspects of such beings. Sometimes as a child the unruly, negative aspects of invisible creatures was more problematic!
