Elephant just didn’t show up in my last painting done during retreat.  She’s been showing up again and again and again since I became pregnant with Phoenix.  I guess you could say she’s my “totem”.

And in the last few months–at a time I felt at my lowest and darkest days–she kept appearing in the most auspicious of ways.

So I’m listening to her medicine.

And for me–listening involves connecting my heart, my hand, and my senses.

Here are a few ways we have been communicating together–through sketches in my Moleskine.
