I understand... Follow them. Let them out. Let them show you the way. I’ve spent much of the last year in tears.

I understand…

Follow them. Let them out. Let them show you the way.

I can't exactly say that I have no choice, but it is an essential part of how I express who I am and I feel like it keeps m alive. There is a lot inside now aching to come out, and it always shows up in my work. I am expanding and I am having growing pains, every where in my life. It hurts and I feel naked. I have been working on my art (and myself) long enough to understand the process, but that intellectual understanding means nothing to my spirit. I don't know if this makes any sense. I am putting myself out there and I am scared. But I am doing this deliberately and I am striving to be conscious and open in the process. I welcome what ever comes in my path as long as I am healing and growing in all parts of my life. In terms of my art work, I definitely need to show in other places in addition to PN. As a gallery, they are awesome, and want me to expand too. So the prospect of other venues is great. I need to show in other cities too. I have refrained from destroying what I have been working on (sometimes that IS the answer), I am actually going to have some patients and get out of my own way. Oh what fun it is, she says while wiping tears from her eyes. :) I have to keep working.

The effort, the struggle, the pain my very well be a part of it, but to force it, to judge it, to over-think it, to allow any ego into it, in my experience, is to destroy it. Even if it's good... * encouraging hug * I’m no one to talk… but in terms of creativity, art, inspiration… be gentle with yourself if you can be.
