parched lips celebrate
a mirage – unmindful of
dark disappointment
waiting silently below
it existed once
but satisfies thirst no more
painted petals of
memory in folds of soul
move on, move on for
liberation lay on turns
you ignored on your sojourn
Chosen form – Choka
Creative Experiments and More 
This is so profound

Reena, to me this almost feels like the “response” of the “call” that was outlined in the meditation video about paying attention to detail. Beautifully done.

You are right. The video was playing on my mind more than the painting. Thank you, Lisa!
