Dear Anna
I've come to the end of the Hebrew alphabet, all 22 letters. It has felt as if each drawing is a prayer, an incantation; an alchemical mix of sounds, collage and drawing. Each message takes 4-5 hours to complete, there are times while I make that I have to pause to take a breath, for as the impulse moves through me I feel the history of each letter vibrate. I don't know what is next. Have a lovely evening, Genie xox

Thanks for following the momentum. No. 3, One and Three are inseparable. The word Gimel in Hebrew adds to 3+40+30 =73 reduced to 1 The letter Gomel-The camel followed the Hebrews in the desert. Mercury in Alchemy. Have a very good evening, xgx Hi dear Anna,
Glad you liked. Numerology seems to have guided my second effort…. uncanny! Have a good weekend! xxgxx Hi dear Anna,
IMAGE 1 From 0 the Fool stepping into the unknown. Guided by the I Ching instagram 3 “Sprouting” ZHUN how cool is that! “Sprouting is the beginning of new being, the renewal of time." It is the Mulberry or sun tree. 3 - the letter Gimel: germination and water in the desert. The 1 and the 3 are inseparable. Until tomorrow, stay well. xxgxx Inspired by the Letters of Fire and Alchemy. Not knowing the way. Following the journey of the Fool? A process of discovery, of being of service to an experiment free of expectations. A pilgrimage of potential. Starting with a white sheet of paper. An attempt to find daily creative innocence.
