The Yeti & The Mermaid...Chapter 4
Yeti & The Mermaid Series VII: Butterfly Kiss; Encaustic, Oil with Paper Mache Collage on Wood; 16" x 17.5" $720
Some time ago, after much spiritual pursuit, the mermaid had a Burning Heart experience - in which, for 3 days, she felt her heart burn with a supernatural feeling. She knew Who it was, and she knew Why it was happening. She had prayed and asked for a physical feeling that she could have in her Spirit, as a refuge. Ever since then, her life has not been the same, and when she got quiet, she could feel that supernatural burn any time she likes.
The trade-off seems to be that she now attracts others like her who are seeking this kind of Closeness. Those others are usually on the fringe. She must remain humble and follow behind the Flame, and It leads her along her path. She must stand by the door. She must never go all the way in. She must stand there and show others how to get through the door to God.
The yeti has been cast out of society. He is very ill emotionally. He is splintered into many personalities and he can be very mean to the mermaid. She tried very hard not to take it personally most of the time - she tried to remember being that way herself as a child...in addition she thinks of her mentors and what they have done, the stories they have relayed, and she draws on their strength and experience.
