Until you are ready

Sparrow on a real dried leaf I found last autumn going to visit friends🍁
I was able to paint more from my intuition than from my head, so I feel like it turned out much more alive and authentic than many of my other works 🙏🏼🎨🍂💙

Why a sparrow; had some interesting and symbolic encounters with sparrows lately – I didn’t even realise until recently that they even live here, close to our home 😅

Not king, not eagle,
only a pulse of brown and breath.
It carries the secret of small things:
that life does not need grandeur
to be holy.
In dust, in hedges, in the cracks of cities,
the sparrow sings the same simple truth
to live
is already
enough.
