I just received an artistic rendering from an astounding geo-spatial artist (Linares) I collab with & your touching, wistful, yet deeply intimate, delicate & rawfully honest artistry, to me, seems to put "flesh on the bones" of her intricately emotive scaffolding of cosmically entwining energy. 

Having just related your sentiment of "suffering as renewal" in this note about stress & the undue pressure you can literally generate on yourself. . . it was refreshing to read how you tuned into Itiba Cahubaba. Perhaps an Icaro will also arrive soon that you can sing and hum for healing...

As a disabled young woman, I felt that Itiba Cahubaba really spoke to me. She represents suffering, but suffering is needed to reach renewal. As I was drawing her, and my chronic pain began to flare, I heard a voice in my head say “it’s okay if you finish this tomorrow” and it felt loving and motherly. I recognized that it was her communicating with me. I now include her in my prayers. I feel like she guides me, as well as the guaraguao.
