I am Becoming a Well Weathered Basket
This piece was done during my Saturn Return. I was going through a divorce and losing my family, my home, and my security. Saturn is the stern teacher, causing tremendous maturity and growth through painful circumstances.
I started to focus on the imagery of these experiences deepening me and creating a more compassionate, mature human being. It was inspired by the poem "Finding Her Here" below.

"Finding Her Here"
Jayne Relaford Brown
I am becoming the woman I've wanted,
grey at the temples,
soft body, delighted,
cracked up by life
with a laugh that's known bitter
but, past it, got better,
knows she's a survivor-
that whatever comes,
she can outlast it.
I am becoming a deep
weathered basket.
I am becoming the woman I've longed for,
the motherly lover
with arms strong and tender,
the growing daughter
who blushes surprises.
I am becoming full moons
and sunrises.
I find her becoming,
this woman I've wanted,
who knows she'll encompass,
who knows she's sufficient,
knows where she's going
and travels with passion.
Who remembers she's precious,
but knows she's not scarce-
who knows she is plenty,
plenty to share.
