thinking about the colour of kindness
“As we stagger forward, I think about the colour of kindness, realising that its colours and shades are not painted onto a person. They’re worn in.”
Markus Zusack “When Dogs Cry” (p45)
Acey is considering the colours of the chakras
Red is her first one
a powerful colour
the bass note that strengthens our spines, giving us courage and the fire of passion
Mike Worrall The Portal of Intoxication

Mo, This post deeply touched my spirit.💖
(((Kristen))) I love how Acey is taking us along on her journey through the chakras
Mo~ So much heart in this post! Your work never ceases to amaze!
(((Nancy))) it was fun to look back, the Stole of Bandaged Hearts is still a favourite!
Love the red hearts in heartland book; and have always been delighted by the hand illustrated touches of red in Old Man Crow’s book! Red says what it says and how it says it, well!
(((Fiona))) even the tiniest dot of red takes such a dramatic stance!
Oh yes RED and oh yes courage that’s what we all need
Soooo many beautiful items you made Mo !!!
(((Els))) you are the rainbow colour queen!
MC – red is so powerful and such a potent symbol – the obvious reason for it to find its way into so much of your work. B
(((Barry))) have learned to use red sparingly & in the foreground of our inner city courtyard gardens
love the firebird book although it was hard to choose a favorite.
(((Acey))) am enjoying your exploration of the chakras, very centreing in these strange days!
