the hidden genius within

The National Galleries of Scotland discovered a Van Gogh self-portrait underneath his painting “Head of a Peasant Woman.” Concealed beneath a layer of glue and cardboard, a routine X-ray revealed Van Gogh’s portrait had been hiding under the surface for over a century, an intense stare on his face.
“There is a hidden genius in each person, to which we give expression through commitment, discipline, enthusiasm, and passion.” – Eric Butterworth, The Creative Life
Affirmative prayer: Today, I turn away from the conditions of my experience and center myself in an indwelling presence and power. I court the Divine in the depths of my being and allow this grand awareness to enliven and guide my undertakings. I am sourced and inspired by the same loving, creative Spirit that gives life to all. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
