Equinox Musings with Moby

In Process. Acrylic & pastel on masonite, 48 x 48 inches. © 2010 by Kathy Crabbe Tension between opposites: contrast, strain, pain, seeking balance within and without.

Shadow feelings may appear negative at first but are also transformative forces for changes: anger, deep pain, sadness - can transform and transcend us as a species to seek change.

What can you do to make a difference on this planet Mama Earth? Together we can destroy or together we can heal; the choice is up to you.

Musical Ambiance: Moby, Everything is Wrong

Quotes from Moby's album sleeve:

I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race in its gradual improvement to leave off eating animals. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Your choice of diet can influence your long term health prospects more than any other action you might take. ~ Former Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop

Waiting

Waiting, endless waiting. Waiting for something to happen. Making it happen.

Serving self. Serving others.

Feeling the balance. Staying centered.

With energy to burn.

Each canvas a birth, a rebirth, struggling to assert itself. To live. To be human.

How to transcend self and self serving? Through painting and service to others. By putting emotion on paper. By transforming pain into purpose - a reason to live.

Waiting - acrylic & pastel on silk - 3.5' x 3.5' 

I'm not feeling beautiful. I'm just me - trying to survive, feeling the animal in you.

Pain borders on ecstasy, or have you been sleeping?
