“Middle Way” by Autumn Skye (with permission) | This painting originated as a vision that came to Autumn Skye Morrison which she then painted. It overwhelmed me the first time I viewed it. She is a modern Kuan Yin (Avalokitasvara), with her arms held in the Vajrahumkara “Om Sound Gesture,” becoming enlightened (lightening bolt & halo) while practicing the Yoga of the Inner Sounds of the Four Elements — the elements of which are all present in this brilliant artwork — resulting in her becoming a vehicle for the manifestation of Great Responsiveness (the golden disk over her Anahata chakra).
