"The Passing of Flower Woman"

Passing of Flower Woman, by Paula Zima, relating to the subject of death and dying in a sacred manner.
 oil on canvas, h28"x w36" (2004)

               Flower Woman was a beautiful and elegant creature who like
               all  of us,  had created a world around herself. In this scene we
               see her making the final transition from this world to the next.
               At her side are two beings, one who easily makes the
               transition, climbing up and down "the ladder", and another
               whom she will be leaving behind. Both are sitting with her,
               quietly, lovingly, and openly.  Assisting in her peaceful passing.

               It is interesting how many people are uncomfortable talking
               about death and dying. If we think of it as a transformation, 
               it becomes no longer sad, or morbid, but a joyous,
               sacred occasion.  A transformation in consciousness.
