Silent Night
On silent wings
the owl sweeps by
in the quiet moonlit night.
A lone stallion
rears in greeting
his way of taking flight.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
'Silent Night' conveys the mystery of the night, a time when we are usually abed, but when the earth's creatures hold an awakened vigil. Cloaked in silence, the owl glides by in the moonlight night, as a lone stallion rears in greeting - his way of taking flight. The message of this painting unfolds as an invitation to open our minds and listen to our inner guidance, finding our way by heart - through learning to see in the dark.
This painting is the card 'Intuition' in the Way of the Horse card deck by Linda Kohanov, inviting us to open to life's mysteries through Keeping the Heart Open, The Courage to be Vulnerable, and Holding the Sacred Space of Possibility
