❤️🙏🏾...lyrics on second art journaling spread by Trevor Hall @trevorhallmusic - "A Reminder": / do you remember / when you looked in the water and saw your reflection / the embers / they drew out a map and showed you direction / your sender / is far in the East / where your heart is at peace / when you enter / my love is just a reminder / find your center /.../ when you've lost your way / colors start to fade / take a look within / find your offering / hold it to the Sun / let your Spirit run / remember / remember find your center.../Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram...🙏🏾 . . . if there ever was a song so timely and moving for me, this is it...🙏🏾 i have been seeking and searching, and am in it and here / hear with my heart wide open...❤️ . . . . #inspiredart #namasté #art #thirdeyeart #trevorhall #doodles #artiscreationanddestruction #artjournal #artjournaling #paix #peace #sketchbook #diary #notebook #journal #workbeforework #whatisart #surrender #areminder #blackartist #blackartists #blackartistsoninstagram #divinemirror #penandpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpb3sRtO3Yi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
