QUOTE THAT INSPIRED THIS PAINTING:

“And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.”
— Meister Eckhart

MY POEM FOR THIS PAINTING:

It didn’t arrive with lightning—
no grand announcement,
no perfect plan.

Just a whisper
soft as sun on skin:
you’re allowed to want more.

So she listened.
Not to the noise,
but to the knowing.

And with one breath,
one gentle turn toward the light,
she began.

Not because she was ready—
but because she was called.

And beginnings,
it turns out,
do not wait for permission.
