My painting is finished and now I feel this deep need for more. I received the nectar of the gods and crave it again and again. Almost as if my hunger for it's taste will never be satisfied. My fingers, again, ache to be creating. I have opened myself up to all kinds of possibilities for new creations. I feel as if I have become aware of all the beauty in the world and how I can combine it to make something spectacular. Working with so many different materials gave me such a new experience. The textures of the fabrics. The smell of the pine wood. The thread through the needle. The pricking of the finger. Mixing pain with creation. The feeling of the paintbrush on the fabric. The sound of the screws going deep into the wood. All part of this new picture I am painting. The picture is my life and I am finally the one doing the painting.. To quote my glorious mother " I have found this day to be very much in my own hands. What I move with, what is present, is dependent on how I see it. Potential is in the eyes of the beholder. Distraction, humiliation, non-recognition are all part of what makes one let go, so one can open up to potential, and move out clearly what cannot see." -Clarity
Wow! What a tribute to the sense of creativity your words have given.
