#vulnerabiltiy

I let the words spill out

Like a tidal wave of glass

Shattering

Onto the floor, flooding the room

I’m grateful you caught me

Shattering

But you didn’t run away

When I opened up the door to the creaky room that is my heart

Covered in cobwebs of doubt and fear, you’re

Shattering

By telling me you’re staying

I’ve given you every chance to run

But you’re here to stay.

And I can’t turn around

I’m backing up but

I can’t find the door

Finding Courage in Fear & Strength in Vulnerability

This weekend I attended the March for Our Livesrally and march in San Francisco. The speakers I heard in person, as well as in the news media across the country, were brave and inspiring youth. I felt motivated by their voices and encouraged by their spirit. Many of them bravely shared their fear and boldly expressed their outrage about the series of mass shootings this country has experienced in…

The Soul of Vibrational Sweetness

Those of us who treasure animal companions know this; they embody the soul of vibrational sweetness.  This is true if living with humans hasn’t made them crazy!

Since our pets are pure at the outset, the complexities and neurotic confusion of human lives invades their brains like a tsunami.  If we watch them, treasure their energy and allow them to be our teachers, they open up like flowers in the rain.

The horrific videos depicting animal cruelty make me dive for the remote.  Prisoners of human unconsciousness and worse, they abide confused and forlorn, mirrors of our own desolation.

Starving babies are another remote diver for me.  Innocence with nowhere to go is a projection of anything about ourselves we’ve buried to protect.  There it is, exposed as a ragged animal or an abject little human.

From years in the therapist’s chair, I’ve honed a sense of understanding that there is no you, and no me. There is Life living itself as you, me and everything else.  There is only Life, its energy bursting forth in every form.  It’s the stuff religions are made of as they try to understand the source of all things.

Animals and babies remind us of what we can’t tolerate in ourselves, our vulnerability.  Maybe accepting that, opening the heart to that, will free the intention to do no harm

With love,

I am currently in the process of printing ad displaying my pictures from the artist body project,

I want to display them all on either a white or black blank wall, i would like to have all the pictures the same size, and placed in a neat fashion along the wall, with the boards that people used placed at the bottom.

in venice i saw the art work where people had pictures of eyes and writing underneath of how that person felt or what had happened during their life, so i would like to do something similar. i was thinking about making a video like i have said earlier, i would like each person who was kind enough to let me photograph them, either do a short 10 second video of them explaining why the feel vulnerable or insecure or what it is that made them feel this way/ I would then like to have all the videos play at the same time, so not any one video is playing alone, to symbolise that everyone at some point in their life feels this way, and you are not alone in that. i would have all the videos alinde neatly and in a square block.
