Every Crashing Wave

Ireland Paintings By Dawn Richerson

I felt the call of Spirit to the shores of the Atlantic early on a Sunday morning. This was a complete change of plans on the last day of a life-changing trip on the narrow, winding backroads of Ireland. On the rocky shore of Mullaghmore Head on the Wild Atlantic Way in County Sligo, Ireland, I was guided to simply sit and be present to the grace of every crashing wave and to hold all the world in my heart, to include all that was unfolding within me. It was a cacophony of change that looked and sounded like chaos. Yet, there was music in the madness, and a beauty and grace that was so poignant all I could do was to be one with it in a state of deep reverence and appreciation for the moment. This seascape Ireland painting is from the Soul of Ireland Collection by artist Dawn Richerson, who found joy and wonder in the heart of the Emerald Isle where she lived for three years. What does your soul remember? What story of life is alive inside of you?
