Which wolf do you feed? 🐺🤍

Not everyone knows this about me, but I grew up in a more eastern spiritual tradition. Our teacher (from India) used to share this story about “which wolf do you feed?” I think it may have roots in spiritual Hinduism, but I am not sure. There is obvious dualism in life, lightness & shadow—and last week I spent a very intensive transformative time at @john_wineland fierce love retreat. He also mentioned this parable in terms of relating.

What I receive from it, especially in terms of relationship, is when allowing spaciousness and breath work— or deep nervous system regulation, this makes room for the digestion and liberation of trauma from our system, and this allows us to respond with presence versus react when our “ick” comes up. Our ick always comes up in love, it’s almost designed to bring it up. So to honor each other’s experience and to keep choosing ♥️♥️ Love— to keep expanding my heart— that’s the wolf I’m nourishing these days. This gentle expansion of my heart in slowness and in the delicious nectar of life. Even in the shadows. 🪶

hello July
hello radiance, silence, exhaustion
hello slowness, nectar, ecstasy
hello uncertainty, vastness, deep lavender mystery
hello surprise, wild love, a devoured heart

hello love 🪽🤍🪽

My happiest quiet place. Artists—I want to hear

My happiest quiet place. Artists—I want to hear from you. Are you an introvert? Part of the reason I think I got into painting and making art so young is because of this for quiet for my soul.

So I had to break up these two paintings in half because you just couldn’t see all the little symbols and details. I’ve been kind of obsessed with chartreuse, fluorescent, yellow, and the like. You? What colors are you currently obsessed with? 💛🌻🌼🐝🍋🍯
