Life can be so exciting, especially when it is. Now there's a statement.
Creativity can just come out of nowhere, which is where it lives, and make you aware of all the light it is being, and all the light that you are.
Soon we'll buy the boards that the artwork mounts to. They have to be painted first, because they become the two inch border around each painting. Both sides, so that's at least 30 sides to paint and all the edges. That's 60 edges, before the paintings can be attached.
Still looking at the big 4ft.x6ft. piece we have started, that is to say primed, and it is such a deep dive that we're still in the listening stage.
The now here of nowhere is the practice of deep listening and the excitement of intention and commitment merging into an expression filled with the glow of visional presence.
To look into the touch and feel the presence of breath and well-wishing, is the gift of allowing the opening to pursue you and consume you. To be swallowed whole is to be given over to.
To dangle at the participle of an edge of.
To live inside and still walk the outside is to journey in a creative embrace of Hagal, the ice bridge in Celtic lore. Balance and forward focus, a listener's touch.
May your day be colored with blue and white, the blue of acceptance, and white, the color of light being.

It would be wonderful if a filmmaker documented your rituals in approaching a blank canvas. We could witness the permission you give yourself to really listen, and abide with a blank canvas full of expectation yet free of fear. We all want to dive deep beyond the layers of prejudice and judgment. And I'm sure your rituals include some wonderful treats and tasty tea! Yum. You have preserved the secret of keeping creativity a joyous continual act--many of us have had that innocence driven out of us. Thank you!
John, thank you for your comment, it is wonderful to read and very inspiring to the both of us.
We have missed seeing you, but know that when we do, it will be the right time. And we always have treats. :-)
