Madonna and Child

by Filippo Lippi


One morning I woke up and looked at this painting, and the light
was shining through a crack in the curtains and was going in 
a line from the sky part of painting down the Virgin's forehead
and through her heart. It made me realize in that moment that
this work is coming from above...all inspiration comes from
above and if we are open it can change our minds and our
hearts by "aligning" them. The Virgin's hands reconcile the
left and the right and rest in front of the temple of the heart
 where our mirror within can keep pointing up and continually
 ask for guidance and inspiration.
