Rainbow of My Soul

We said Yes
you and I
To all the colors of life’s spectrum

We endured the blackness of hatred
and bathed in the soft pink of joy.

We sank into the dull gray of despair
and rose to heights of yellow ecstasy.

The browns of age and death
ravaged the garden of our love
Making space for the green
of youth and new growth to emerge.

And ahhh…the reds of anger
shooting daggers aimlessly into our disbelieving heart
Led us to the infinite blues
of an all-embracing sky.

We said Yes to it all
You and I
before time began…
And you who introduced me
to a world of emotion
I would never have had the courage
to enter on my own
You
are the rainbow of my soul.

As an artist, Elizabeth R. Urabe has always only had one goal: to translate the invisible energies of Absolute Truth into tangible form using abstract design, color, and poetic imagery, so that an ever-increasing number of people might have more direct access to the inner realms of human existence. In early 1995, with no art training whatsoever, she began spontaneously to draw the pictures now known as Urabe Spirit Art and to date has channeled more than 750 designs, each one perfect, whole, and complete, exactly as it is. No thought is ever involved in the birthing process and Elizabeth has always referred to her role as that of a "spiritual midwife" rather than the creator of this extraordinary body of work. And remarkably, despite incredible complexity of design and detail, no single picture has ever taken longer than one week to complete. In 2011, intuitively entering a picture birthed in 1995 titled Divine Unity, Elizabeth was one of three first-place winners of the unprecedented American Batik Design Competition, organized by (then) the Ambassador to the US from the Indonesian embassy in Washington DC, Dr. Dino Patti Djalal. As a result, she was awarded a three-week tour of some of the most prominent batik and fashion companies in Indonesia and now has contacts in Jakarta who have created breathtakingly beautiful silk shawls for ladies and one of a kind original shirts for men; each piece endowed with the living 4000-year-old history of Indonesia's perfected batik techniques and the essence of Urabe Spirit Art as both the energetic and design inspiration. Early in 2016, in answer to the global craze for coloring books, Elizabeth rose to the challenge and in a matter of months, self-published four books; three coloring books for adults, each with original art and contemplative poetry, and a highly interactive book for adults and children to engage in together. The first adult book, Color Me Freedom, was immediately rendered fully into German, and there are French, Spanish, and Russian versions available with the translations of the Artist Introduction and dedication pages. A full Arabic language translation is also soon to be released. With these books, Elizabeth has taken the very essence of her art and offered it in a compact, affordable and interactive format that is especially attractive at this time, when global challenges are both accelerating and intensifying and the need for awakening, healing, and transformational reintegration is more imperative than ever. In Elizabeth's words: " Urabe Spirit Art, in whatever myriad forms it may take, is one of the most powerful reflections of Source energies available to us at this point in the evolution of Consciousness. We are at a crossroads where the fate of our planet and life as we know it may very well depend on the willingness of each individual to embrace the entire spectrum of human emotion and commit to the kind of transformation that only real spiritual growth can offer. There is no longer any middle ground and as long as we (still) believe that Love has an opposite, we are (still) living in fear." It is time for us to say an unequivocal yes to destiny and to take our rightful places as warriors of the Spirit. Let us join in this pure and noble vision, knowing that - together - there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

  1. Dear Elizabeth,

    On reading your incredibly moving poem I was taken on a journey of both sadness and joy

    Your words undulated as described both negative dilemma and ultimately blessed by the a spectrum of positivity, love and kindness.

    It may be a one-minute read, Elizabeth, but your poem matched the infinity of a rainbow.

    Thank you.

    • Simon 🙏💞
      I cannot thank you enough for the profound beauty of your appreciation expressed here. Very few people are willing to FEEL the entire spectrum of human emotion and I actually believe that it is the effort to “get” and “keep” the positive, good feeling stuff without acknowledging the truth that we’re ALL capable, under certain circumstances, of becoming the monsters that we try so hard to pretend are always and only “out there”, that is at the root of how dangerously close to extinction our planet is teetering. We aren’t supposed to act out every little painful or negative emotion or experience but rather, as our mutual friend Carol Campos would say, to ALCHEMIZE it. Everything is, at the core, pure Love…

      Deeply grateful for the depth of your receptivity, Simon.
      Much love,
      Beth Urabe
