act three: THE FIELD

Interdependence. Dance in a field of flowers. Free yourself from yourself, give back to others, and be in gratitude.

Enacting this ritual deepened my reverence for the ancient story of life as retold in the aM all paintings. I learned that following love and acting on fear makes us stronger, that challenges can inspire us to reclaim our power, and that we may grow beyond our imagination. How might you observe or honor your own milestone?

The aM all paintings, ritual, and enactment are by Howell Burnell. Rebecca George photographed the ritual. For more art, please visit howellburnell.com.
