Reflections on the White Raven

I am humbled to share this art with you, it demonstrates my gratitude for my connection with Elisabeth Strain and her beautiful family. The beauty of this trickster celebrates our relationship.

​

I sought the opportunity to take this picture for about two years. I will not recount to you what happened over those years. I will not recite the story of the raven stealing the sun - you can google that.

​

I confirm that the white raven has been a master of quantum physics since our universe was but a possibility. Before stardust. 

​

The supernatural is old and familiar to her & to many of us. 
 
She has always known that time is not a straight line, it is a maze overlapping itself - jumping ahead and falling behind but perfectly in sync. 

​

She thinks it’s funny that humans feel like they are running out of time or that there aren’t enough hours in the day. 

​

Lawyers are particularly hilarious to her. Measuring time in 6 minute blocks makes her chuckle and brings her joy in a cheeky way. 

​

Did she steal or liberate the sun?

​

Two contradicting yet accurate truths can co-exist. 

​

How is that you might ask?

​

She doesn’t ask, she just knows.

​

She is an infinite and eternal soul wrapped in feathers, comfortable in the multi-dimensional world. She represents our best selves. 

​

I hope that she brings you joy, a cheeky internal tricksiness & a serene comfort with the supernatural.
