Collaboration

October 7

Collaboration with yourself, awareness that you are collaborating with who you are, is an art of being awakened.

In reference to art, collaboration is an everytime everything thing. The listening is a collaboration with the interior invisible world, one that shares with you its sounds.

To studio is to collaborate with yourself in a world that has a propensity to cut away your muse, in favor of outside sounds of direction.

How does one regain the collaboration of the inner life, when all our outer life is set in another direction? Listening, is the answer, but to listen, in the beginning, one must be resolute and committed to yourself.

Your first sounds of listening are sometime tiny, small, and barely audible. You must lean into the bending sound that travels through your body, that has been hardened by the outer world, until you hear the soft quiet sound of your own self.

In the studio, you can hear yourself the easiest, you can hear the lightest sound drop into your hearing. 

Remember, the studio travels with you, wherever you go, so you can begin to hear when out in the other world.

Watch for the light, listen for your own sound, the soft gentle one that has you in mind, most primarily, let it nurture you. The canvas, paper, pen, and brushes all come from those places you hear. 

Intend to be in the art of inner, operate from that core place, and collaborate with yourself in the world. The world will change for you, when you let yourself know you have something new to contribute.

Our art continues to forever grow, both itself and us, and we are immensely grateful for the collaboration we have, the relationship we have between grace, mindfulness, and awareness.

Hope this day finds you collaborating with who you are listening to, and that who you are listening to comes from within who you are being.
