Daily Cafe Doodles.

This is our last day in Rolleston. Even the cats at the housesit know that we are getting ready to move on. They are following us around the house and needing lots of reassurance – that their mum & dad are coming home tomorrow! Onyx and Jasper have weaved their way into my heart.

John’s drawing of Onyx & Jasper, the original we will leave for the owners.

Drawing with a pen is challenging, good to do something that scares you just a little, helps you to grow!

I have been working on two portraits by spiritual consignment, of a lady who passed over about thirty years ago. She has made her presence felt by me and the cats in this house! I had been unable to sleep until I began to draw her. One night I got up to find Jasper sitting at our bedroom door. When I got up (at 12.30am) he raced around the living room like a crazy thing. The kitchen light was turned on and I know that I had turned it off before going to bed. I returned to bed and laid awake for another hour, unable to sleep. So I got up again with intention to write. Jasper was sitting at the door waiting for me again! I sat in the armchair with my MacBook in my lap and the TV turned itself on! (we don’t use the TV, so I was very surprised to hear the noise!) I tuned it off and knew that I needed to draw this lady. I had already started the outline, and so I began to draw. I cannot tell you how I did it, or what I did. I reached a moment when my eyes were closing and my arms were aching – I had been drawing feverishly for one hour. I heard a voice say, “keep going, this is such fun!” but I really needed to sleep and rest my body. I returned to bed without even looking at what I had drawn, but was unable to sleep. I needed to rest my body, so I stayed in bed until the morning alarm sounded. On rising I was surprised at what I had achieved!

When drawing portraits of loved ones in Heaven, I can sense them looking over my shoulder and guiding me with songs and pointers. But this was different. Yes I did hear particular and relevant songs with this young woman (she was 24 at her time of passing over), but this time she wanted to draw through me. It was a challenge to get my mind out of the way, relax into a meditative state and let her guide my hands. I still don’t know how I did it! And each time I tried to do it my way, it would not look right. She was pleased with the results and that is all that matters.

Again, I have been shown that our energy forms known as soul continues beyond this physical existence, without a doubt! And I feel deeply moved writing this now. Thank you for an amazing experience.
