Painting Process opens the doors of perception

Hello Painting Sangha
This is our third week together in our 4 week container. 
I think the process of creative exploration isn't just limited to each session but to the whole experience outside of painting as well. As the creative process awakens our Heart, Soul and Felt Sense, there can be an alivening or illuminating effect where we see the world with a little more Awe even in spite of the internalized critical or dismissive voices. Where color is a little brighter and the magic all around just can't be quite as tapped down.

We must feed this shift, trust it and allow it fully. It doesn't mean that life isn't hard or full of heartache, and we can feel that too, but we also get to feel the wonderment, the joy, the mystery everywhere, seeping through the cracks in the mental boxes we have put life in. 

Life like your paintings doesn't care if you like what is being created in your life it just wants you to show up fully and keep going/growing and trusting until one day there is no more judgment, no more resistance to what is,  just total trust in the Benevolent Great Mystery, and the process of life/growth. 

What a lofty goal to trust life so radically. In writing this I realize that I am so committed to painting because it helps me trust the process of life. It shows me over and over that I am held and that there is a mystery/intelligence that knows way more than my mind alone and that I can count on it.

It is hard to put words to it so I will stop after I say this last sentence: It is wild how liquid color journeys on paper can open so many veils, portals, doors in my Soul.

"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.

    Just be real, and that is already beautiful enough.
