Bears

I’ve never been much into bears. But lately they are in my dreams, in my depth writing work, and in my art. I am grateful for what they have brought me. In one piece of writing I even got to ride on one, out into a pond...

I got this image one night before falling asleep. I sat up, turned on a light, and drew a pen sketch (below) in a notebook nearby, then went to sleep. The watercolor sketch (immediately below) came later.

Like the Trickster and Rust Lady (Wisdom) in my inner image work, I believe the bears move more freely through my interior and artistic worlds, acting from beyond what I think of as “me.”
