The Oracle was full of questions today. As are we all.

As I studied your image I saw the dark areas as smoke. I noticed that there is no green in it, which is a big red flag. There is no red but a burning yellow and orange. I see your turn at the middle question. As reflected in the 2nd part, I see the edge of the “quiet deep light,” which I see as faith. Beautiful duet, K.

Thanks Jade. I do think the Oracle reminds us to keep faith. I’m glad I’ve managed to reflect that in the image.

I love that play on wither and whither, and yes, birds and moons, linked by leaves and the idea of infinity.

I also saw the wither/whither connection. At first I couldn’t figure out where the Oracle was going, but she always clarifies. She knows my questioning nature too.

She made it very clear, I think. She also encourages questioning.

Like Jane, I was struck by that opening statement–and then the questions that followed. But yes to birdwind and moonsong.
