It upset me but in the big scheme of things seemed trivial. Last night I spent half the night dreaming that I should repair it and to repair it by adding horses in the clouds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I painted the three horses and restored the painting it seemed a metaphor for the world right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can\u2019t return to \u2018normal\u2019 because normal was destroying the planet. We have to do better!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope and pray we move forward in a more conscious loving way where we pay more attention to the earth and take more care of nature and each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As my friend said the rip in the painting is like a hole in the ozone layer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So instead of a straight forward seascape this is now a meeting of the sky gods determining our future. Will we commit to consuming less, caring more and taking care of our wonderful earth?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no turning back, we have to<br>go forward and make things better!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much love and stay safe<br>Kirsten&nbsp;<br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"
