You have to leave the city

of your comfort

and go into the wilderness

of your intuition.

What you’ll discover will be wonderful.

What you’ll discover is

yourself.

-Alan Alda

When I read about spirit stuff and art stuff, I am humbled by how cheesy and flaky it all can sound. I am humbled by awareness. How it changes everything. I cannot perceive anything without its relation to something else. This jumping off the cliff, heart wide open, poses many ‘problems.’

Chaos. And the deepest and most remarkable aliveness.

A trusting in myself to keep moving. A leaning on the work in the studio, the physicalness of it, to define itself.

A paradoxical connection and separation with others. Searching for service.

Oh, and let’s not forget about how much laughing I do with myself! I am really funny…..flitting around…..trying so hard.

The place I go to be with me, is so…….unexpected…..like silly monkeys on a wall.

unexpected perspectives…

Wakefulness is a state of non-illusion where you see things not as you are but as they are…..Anthony DeMello

Perspective as a tool for making art rather than art making perspective. Humbled again.

This place I go to be with me is home……

ain’t got no big answers, but I got art.
