The spiritual "…mountain top speaks of our common journey as Souls living in a physical body. Child, this is the path to spirit. It is the path taken by the few. For in your time and place, it is much easier to say that the world is a physical thing, and that all that counts is the physical thing. But when one chooses to see that the world is aphysical thing moved by Spirit, and for the the sport and purposes and learning of spirit: this is the more difficult path. We would not say it is a path littered with hurdles. We will say it is a path that must be opened for it is not a commonly walked, public path. There are cobwebs you must clear. There are branches you must move. But yet, it is an exciting path. For where you are going excites you to the core of your being. Look upon this as a path to the Light, to the highest peak, to the highest point of Light. And know that all of these little brushings of brambles and branches in the way are evidence that it is the path seldom followed. As you continue up the Spiritual Mountain, you become closer to others. Fo ryour heart becomes open to its spiritual Oneness with all of mankind, humankind and you become better able to listen to others, to comprehend others, and to offer the helping hand when asked for. Your fear and judgement will evaporate as you walk firmly into the center of your Heart and say to yourself, I am Spirit. I am Love. I am a part of the All That Is."

· Symbolism of Colors and Intent of the Painting: This Healing Artwork has many colors: Green in the Trees and the Rocks: Green is the color of the Heart Center, one of the main colors of our Mother, the Earth. Green is a very calming and balancing color and helps to heal hurts or wounds, even from childhood, that you may still be carrying with you within your own Heart… it is also the color of healing, abundance and inner growth, it is leaving behind the tendency to be uncertain, miserly or greedy. It helps to open the Heart to Love and Compassion and grounds you, connects you to the Earth. If you long for Healing, be sure to spend lots of time in Nature surrounded by the different greens of the Earth. Purples/Blue tones: The color of Intuition and communication. Learning to listen to your own inner promptings, those "feelings" or "vibes" you cannot explain. This is your Truth, listen to what these tell you. Blue is the color of expression, of Truth, be sure to learn how to communicate your Truth, use your voice in a loving and compassionate way. The world needs to hear what you have to say, to contribute---regardless of how you find your 'voice', in whatever way you choose to put in out into the World--- but do it you must --- the World is waiting to hear from you. Listen to your voice which will lead you to what you are meant to do to give back to others beyond yourself. Brown: To ground yourself, feel secure, new growth, leave behind a lack of discrimination. Yellow: Communication of Optimism, Hope and Inspiration, leaving behind the need to need others approval and overcriticalness. Magenta Hues: Love, strength, leaving behind anger, aggression and unbalanced impulse.
