Three Birds


The first experience in multi media is called Three Birds.


Are you with me, because I'm losing it. I was so scared. Because of my condition, I was unable to feel from the chest, down. This meant I couldn't walk or move. I could looked up at the ceiling, from side to side and out of the window.  I noticed though, that there were never any birds around the building. I asked about it and was told that because I was on the 8th floor, the birds wouldn't come up that high. Also, there was a helicopter pad that scares the birds away.

It would have been comforting to see birds because I hurt more than I have ever hurt in my life! I cried, screamed, slept and prayed. It was a mental challenge I would never meet unless I had the favor of my Heavenly Father. So I asked for a favor. I said, "If you are with me, please send birds to my window." I told my friend of the favor. She just looked at me and said," Uh huh."

Maybe a week and a half later this doubting friend and I were in the hospital room together when three black birds flew up to my window. I gasped, pointed, and said," He sent them!" She saw them too. They flew right up to the window. I couldn't believe it!

That hospitalization is the hardest thing I've done in all my life. It tops every experience for pain and mental pressure, but I was given a helping hand from the one who Created me.

The painting shows a black child figure reaching. It has three large flowers. Is she throwing them away or pulling the flowers toward herself? You decide. The flowers represent high levels of mixed emotions too difficult to manage. In this painting they also represent physical pain. Her head is full of dissociation, but she has her three birds, and confidence that her Creator will support her, whatever the medical outcome.
