When we recognize our true, brilliant nature as it is mirrored in a loved one we cannot hold ourselves. The love of the universe, in all of its brilliant indivisibility cannot possibly fit into one person. We cannot contain it. It must be set free to benefit all.

This painting poured out of me after my cousin suffered a stroke immediately after open heart surgery. This happened almost exactly a year after his son was born. In fact, his heart condition would never have been caught in time if they hadn't been at the hospital treating his child's fever.
