Art doesn't always pay the bills, but it's my trye passion. A slump is upsetting for my wallet, my stomach, and my soul.
I hitched a ride out of the city, away from noise and distractions. Country life was hard for a city kid like me.
I was lying on my back in the middle of a field, feeling empty as the void of space.
Then the stars began to glitter and glow with golden light, and all of a sudden, She was lying next to me.
I looked at the newcomer, and saw Her give me the gentlest smile.
She reached out a hand to me, and I reached out to Her. She took my hand in Hers....
Warmth. Kindness. Wisdom. Inspiration. Peace. Contentment. Divine Benevolence.
We stargazed together. I slept and woke to find Her gone, but She'd given me what I'd been seeking.
The experience had changed me. I painted Her alongside Her cosmic domain, and I made sure to pen Her name to my work.
I had been graced by Celeste Soleil, the kind and benevolent Goddess of the Cosmos.
I will never squander Her gift.
