Art Life - Week 18

Sometimes life is like going at the fun fair where there are lots of people, lots of movement, so much noise because people scream to get attention. There is too much of everything.

For a while you let yourself be distracted.

Then if it goes well you recover and try to stay in the main roadway despite the mess.

Because you know inside you where you want and where you have to go.

Then gradually you get rid of everything that you don't really need or that you no longer need.

You come back to being a child (it could sound as a paradox, it's not!)

Becoming an adult, soul-wise, also means embodying one's power.

Ideally being an adult in our material world would mean being aligned, wise, compassionate, balanced, strong....Ok, I'll stop here.

It is not so. More or less we are all scared children.

The good news: this is the work. Meaning : there is hope. 

It's up to everyone to choose.

And I also claim here the possibility of "making a mistake", the quotation marks are mandatory.

Where "to make a mistake" is to be understood as "to experiment".

According to the contexts it is one of the most mistreated concepts/principles.

It obviously applies to everything as far as I'm concerned, including my artistic career and the choices I make in this field.

The more I go on the more I realize that everything was already there.

Evolution consists in embodying our essence in this matter. Through experience, broadening of consciousness, understanding we become aware adults.

It's not about getting smarter, knowing more, being intellectual.

Nothing to do with the ego brain that should be just a tool.

It's about evolving and vibrating higher and stronger.

As for a painter that is not wherever technique he's using but the vibes from the art.

I dug up my sewing machine, a birthday present from at least eight years ago and barely used.

We can also say that when something has to come..... of course time, in soul terms, it's not the same.

Also inspired by the talented artist Cathy Cullis (whose work I invite you to admire) who creates a very personal work also thanks to the sewing machine.

I don't know how things will evolve, for now I'm sewing pages.

And again talking soul's terms.... After all, I come from a family of tailors.

The exploration is always the same: the journey towards soul expression.

And the evolution (we are here for a reason).

And the world of information inscribed in the invisible. 

Between known materials with which you can let yourself go without too many questions (they are old friends) and a little discovery when using materials such as recycled ones that don't necessarily react in a predictable way. 

A different brushstroke and a world opens up (who needs to travel?)

Last considerations (for now) on fear. Also due to the latest news of drones over the kremlin.

How does fear truly dissolve?

Really going to see what we are afraid of.

Close your eyes, be silent for a while without immediately giving space to the mental ego.

Ask yourself the question, answer and listen IF it's the real answer.

Embrace the word or words that arise.

And I mean words, NOT sentences.

Sometimes we may be amazed and see unsuspected things emerge.

True dissolution begins there, in discovering one's own truth. Only once that emotion linked to the found word has been released (often suddenly we feel stressed, angry, sad...)

Only if we make space  we  can "install" a new program.

There is always a memory or image where integrity, strength, even power VIBRATES.

I also call that vibration "home". Everyone will find his.

And in that vibration that needs to grow the world can also fall, we will be just ourselves and life will be life.

From my soul to yours who reads
