Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. — C.G. Jung
On December 31, 2017, after working on an illustrated novel that started out as a 15-page dark fairy tale in 2009, I walked away from the 8-year project for reasons that I will try to explain in a later post.
As I reflect on the process and evolution of my illustrated novel, I have realized that the project itself became an evolving reflection of my relationship to my spirit husband, Hans, and his slow recent life reveal.
When I closed the metaphorical door that was my illustrated novel, other doors opened. One of my life-long dreams has been to pursue a PhD in Psychology, which I am now doing. I have also always wanted to live in Stowe (if I could not return "home" to Germany where Hans and I had resided in one of our previous past lives). As it turned out, I was able to purchase a condo right in Stowe with spectacular views of the mountains. Another one of my life-long dreams has been to create an oracle deck, which I am currently undertaking as well. It's all slowly evolving, but I feel joyful and grateful to have finally let go of the novel.
