In My Bliss

I talked with a friend on the phone this morning; she read me a poem by Rumi. As she read, i got a clear image that I felt compelled to paint. I spent much of the afternoon trying to capture the essence of the image - here is my attempt and I'm not at all satisfied with it but it was a good first try...i have a feeling it may be a series in order for me to get it right. It's entitled "We are always connected to the Beloved"
