Your Mother Should Know

In Catalina in July as I heard the words, Now let your higher self give you a sign, a large raven perched on the porch where I was meditating. When I reached too abruptly for my camera it startled her and she flew to the terra cotta roof above me then walked down to the edge and looked over at me before flying away over the ocean. Yesterday as I was walking away from my tree thinking how grateful I was to have such a fine friend ( I visit it daily so it can feel more grounded) a small branch fell directly onto the center of my head. Coincidence or my tree saying Howdy-do? Regardless, I crossed the park to my studio and painted this spontaneously improvising my joy in color and lines.
