There's A Connection...

Giorgio Vasari 

There's a connection to beginnings, 

to fresh starts. 

I see that for me patience is required. 

Before clearing away the old growth, 

I have to wait a bit 

so things don't wither and die. 

As with gardening 

(in which I am NOT accomplished), 

I do know to wait to clear some of the old brush, 

as the weather is volatile 

and can cause the new growth to die. 

So patience. 

And with the patience 

a wonderful anticipation 

of the beauty of this season.

Emotion Is Energy...

 

Emotion is energy. 

It is something that can’t be contained 

or easily directed. 

I find the only way to use it correctly 

is to realize that it is just a type of hydrogen 

and direct it. 

Otherwise I just waste it.

In The Painting...

 

Remedios Varo

In the painting, 

the character is walking through life 

yet connected to the eternity.

Above and below. 

The i’s are all around. 

Colorless. Not alive. Not real.

What has been helpful 

is to watch the i’s and not fight them. 

To transform them.

And realize that they are not mine per se. 

Mine and not mine. 

As I transform - 

get present to the i’s - 

They are brought into the light. 

Illuminated as the character in the painting is. 

The i’s go from crystallized forms 

to sand melt away.

That realization that the i’s 

not only not real yet also humanities i’s.

That we can illuminate. 

To illuminate. To transform. 

To bring from the crystallized form 

into the formless by releasing them. 

Releasing them from the crystallized form.

So not only to fight/try 

to stay still with the i’s - 

And also to elevate them.

Sometimes...

 

Sometimes God reveals some great thing 

just to manifest his glory.

~St. Teresa of Avila

The Soul Sees...

 

The Soul sees what the machine cannot. 

It will protect its machine 

and is discriminatory 

when raising energy around those that cannot be. 

It is difficult 

when we are faced with the desire to grow 

in second and third line work. 

The god’s will not leave a student 

as long as the student is evolving 

and making efforts along the first line. 

The growth of the school 

and introductions to others 

generally come from something higher, 

and it is these chance meetings 

that have a different “ring” to them. 

“To Be or not to Be, that is the question ...” 

Be careful when you fish in a river, 

as your bait may be taken by the wrong sort of fish.
