Waning Moon Pearls of Forgiveness

Forgiveness...what does that word mean to you? For me, it means letting go of pain and deciding consciously that I don't need it and that I'm letting it go, not allowing pain or irritation or anger or shame or regret to control who I am right now in this moment.

As I hold two pearls in my hands I open my heart to joy for I am present now and I am beautiful and love flows through me and I can accept this and share it with you.

When painting to music every song is like entering a different world. When creating from pain - paint is the antidote.

Paintings to capture what was...paintings to remember you...paintings to forget the past.

But what about the future? That, I can't imagine. What I can do is capture you on canvas...forever.

That imperfect moment made perfect...my creation. Making order out of chaos. The abstract and analytical mind can rest here, in being-ness.

Question: Without the pain can I paint? Painting relieves the pain, but with no dark emotion that needs release, how to paint?

Darkness I Seek.

To balance the light, the endless light of desert sun. Blood, sweat and tears.

Passivity does not engender paint. Anger, fight, passion, intensity, blood... does.
