Lessons in Love
by Lyssa Lovejoy
is a reflection on the sacred work that happens in the "meantime"—the space between longing and becoming. Inspired by In the Meantime by Iyanla Vanzant, the painting explores love as a teacher rather than a destination. The two crows stand as companions, reminding us that wisdom is earned through patience, vulnerability, forgiveness, and the courage to remain open. Every layer tells the story of a heart being shaped, proving that sometimes the greatest lesson isn't finding love—it's becoming someone who knows how to give it.
