Durga
I painted this in 2017 when this poem kept me grounded. In fact, this poem has been my mantra since the 1990's. I have memorised it.
Durga ~ Boundaries
“When threatened by demons, I fiercely protect myself, with all that I am, with all that I have, from deep within, I call forth all that I need. I am the “Inaccessible”. For I place myself beyond the reach of all that would destroy me, all that would annihilate me, all that tries to wound me, I am the “unapproachable”. For nothing can get at me that I do not willingly let in. I dance my dance of oneness. Only with what supports me, nurtures me, loves me. For all that does not, I say: approach at your own risk!” https://archangeloracle.com/2016/03/13/durga-boundaries
