While I channeling this image and discerning it’s message, I came to understand a universal truth: That the mother is inherently sacred, eternal, and aligned with the divine, regardless of whether or not she embodied her sacred aspects. That a mother perpetually retains her original connection to the source. This artwork pays homage to the yearning for forgiveness—an alchemical process that transmuted my resentment into a journey toward profound comprehension, delving into the intricate layers of her being.

The aspiration to forgive metamorphosed my resentment into a relentless exploration that longed for deeper insights into my own mother’s essence. Amidst the painting’s intricate details, a sacred cave emerges as the birthing ground for consciousness, unveiling the sacred essence within every being.

Through this image, a message is channeled and discerned, rectifying a once-resisted falsehood and embracing a profound truth: the transcendence of maternal pain. Regardless of past struggles, the depicted mother is inherently sacred, eternal, and aligned with the divine, perpetually retaining her original connection to the source.

On the verso of this canvas, I inscribed: “I allow the sacred bat to guide you out of the cavern of my resentment.” This visual revelation emerged on a night saturated with the energies of Bali, serving as a visceral translation of a profound sensation—a revelation of the sacred facet of my earthly mother. Once my greatest challenge, she has transformed into the canvas of my healing. This image, as always, is a gift from my muses.
