soul rain

   I finished this piece, I call it Soul Rain and I'm very pleased with it.  As you can see, it depicts a woman, kinda just leaning, quietly thinking in the rain, the only things distracting her from her soul's voice are the sound and the rain.  That peace and quiet is so wonderful, and I think now, more important than ever.  Have you ever noticed that we, as people, rarely take time to think anymore. Every second of every day is filed with noise, the t.v., the radio, cell phones, constant social media.  There's never a moment where we can just reflect.  No wonder so many people seem to feel lost, to not know who they are or what they should do; they never sit in silence long enough to allow their true essence to reveal itself, rather they allow social media, how many likes they get, or t.v. tell them who they should be.  Lately, I've been making a conscious effort to just be still, to turn off everything and just listen to my inner voice and maybe have a little quiet chat with him.  It's a wonderful feeling and absolutely essential.
