The relationship with your Self makes all others possible.
And better.

Eyes Open

October 20, 2026

This morning I made a set of cards. Pictures, labels, meanings, for a question I carry about relief and value.

Tonight the cards meet their first local live circle.

In between, something else happened. I picked up my phone and spoke into it.

No glasses. No reading. Only my own words, from memory and from the moment.

The first take was raw. Headphones on, camera low, at the edge of my own evolution.
On the second take, the headphones came off.
On the third take, I turned toward the light.

Twenty-eight seconds. Years in the making. One smile at hello.

Until today, the woman on my Home page kept her eyes closed. Copper hair, sacred codes, going within. She held my Self.

Today her eyes are open. So are mine.

I step out of the painting and stand beside her, moving out into the world of authentic relationships.

The relationship with my Self stays the ground. Now the space between us opens.

The space between us is where creation emerges.
