Love Letter to Life 11.26.2024 Rosie

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, When the paint serves up pastels, my art critic shakes her head and sneers, “Really?” Why such a reaction? I spoke back to the inner critic, “This is how my spirit moves me.” Let my joy and peace be felt amidst the grief of loss, the turmoil of world events, the upside-down political climate, the challenge of cancer. Let my heart feel my deceased mother tapping me on my shoulder and hear her whisper, “I love this painting”. I will bring this painting home, hang it, and call it, Rosie. Missing you, Mom, during this season.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 09.21.2024 Corner of Peace

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Experienced this peaceful and beautiful moment amongst the chaos of boxes and Covid: late day light, orange roses, and a tea latte in the corner of my bedroom. I spent the day resting. Woke at 2:30am, read for 30 minutes then unpacked some clothes. Fell back to sleep until 8:00am. My body rhythms are disrupted by medication and moving. I know this will pass. I am grateful to be in new home and look forward to getting things in their place and release whatever does not bring me joy. “We came to know a new peace…”
Yours Truly, Pamela
