#seeking wisdom

It's a bit too late for me to post my monstersona for Halloween but I used this colour palette created by SeesawSiya, so I'm technically just in time for Huevember! (I didn't strictly stick to the colours, I hope that's still fine).

Bridal mysticism is an integral element of my spiritual journey. By breaking down the symbolism of water and spirit we're internalizing a connection between the All and our being. Please feel free to share any wisdom you have and ask questions. Share this

“If any of you lacks Wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

to the hope of what God has spoken?

No wonder my spirit feels torn —
caught between faith and desire,
between what I want
and what I do not yet understand.
