The Wild Hair of Light

                                                
  

Light can be a wild hair. It comes, sometimes, when you are looking, it comes, sometimes when you are thinking about something else, it comes, sometimes when you aren't looking for it.

The light expression can be a wild hair, not fitting in to the tidy, groomed, clipped idea that we were taught, or grew up with, or thought of as right from wrong. Light can just show up all rumpled, all ungroomed, all wild eyed and wild haired.

The studio opens its doors to the free flow, and when you have that kind of studio, you can be sure the wild hair will show up. For that matter, if you have the kind of studio that has its doors all tightly locked, it's windows shut and latched, you can really be sure the wild hair will show itself.

As artists, we allow the light to penetrate us, it's wildness we breathe in deeply, because that light has been through the cosmos to reach us. THAT is wild. What it takes for anything to occur is an amazing, wondrous thing. Art is amazing, a wonder, and a mysterious connection with light. To us, many times, it  is a numinous experience, filled with more than we ever could imagine. 

The way the new occurs, is by letting the light open you up with its wildness, it's wild hairs, it's unclipped nature. To set your gaze up the wild nature, is to allow the flowing grace of light to illuminate you from the inside out. 

Our door opens late into the night, the studio lit from within, the wild hairs flowing with the ancient knowledge of organic, we present ourselves to the creative force that moves through us. It nurtures us, allows us to find new ways to travel, new ways to come in touch with the larger light that bathes us in a glow of acceptance and safety.

We are blessed to be in the center of our artistry, the language spoken and unspoken, the movement seen and unseen, the gathering of elements that create the alchemy of our expression.

Hope this day finds you finding a wild hair, one that you resist clipping. See what you see with the wild hair as a guide instead of a detriment.
