When I started speaking UCOD into being, I had many people who wanted to participate. The response was overwhelming!! Elaine is a friend and was inspired to create this piece after I had told her about a vision I had during a meditation . During my meditation, I found myself sitting on a beach basking in the moonlight feeling quite despondent. From a distance I could see the shape of a magnificent creature gliding through the silver rays bouncing off the ocean. It seemed as though the shadow was going to keep on it’s course and not stop and sit with me. However, I silently willed the sparkling black dragon to enlighten me with a visit. Her wings wrapped themselves around me and without words she let me know that all would be well. That I was going to go through a re-birth and with it I would support many people. Shortly after this encounter the idea for UCOD was conceived and you are now reading my vision! Thank you Elaine for providing me with the gift of your art work! Much gratitude and love to you my friend, xo Amy Barroso
