After 4 hours of dreaming and drawing, I finally crystallized some of my thoughts about the impact that this practice has in my life:
Drawing--
is like a moment in time that you can stretch out like a ball of twine with a never-ending line of rope that never hangs you out to dry,
is taking a moment to feel the quite spaces of observation take hold of your soul and live there in plenitude,
is knowing your hand rules your head and your eyes are your brain,
is the knowledge that beauty resides in the most unexpected of places and things,
is seeing things amplified and magnified,
is enjoying the smallest particle of truth in the largest particle of sand as you make it grow larger than your imagination allows,
is seeing what's not there with powers of perception that transcend space and time,
is realizing that reality and fiction can mesh in that wonderful recess called your mind,
is bringing together very disparate ideas into a picture that speaks less of your abilities and more of your feelings,
is discovery, is contemplation, is time to yourself and to hell with the world walking by,
is an exercise of pure ZEN and a lapse of efficiency into the meandering diffusions of time,
is the beauty of seeing and being.

It's been a long while...
I haven't been writing. Not poetry anyway. Not for almost two months now. The stuff of life has been in the way--work, mostly. Work takes up a lot of head space
But I woke up in the middle of the night just a while ago and churned out a poem. Felt good. It was hard and the words didn't flow as smoothly but it still felt good.
I miss that feeling of creating something, of channeling a magical flow of words that takes over my thought process and lifts me to another realm of being.
Now I can go back to bed!!
Goodnight everyone
Starting Over
Not many people have the opportunity to start over, be it in love, in life or in one's career. But for some, even when the opportunity comes knocking, they don't always have the courage to answer and open the doorway to new possibilities and new beginnings.
Starting over is hard, I will give you that. But it sure beats plodding on to the beat of the same drum every day, devoid of passion and inspiration, breathing and living yet never really feeling ALIVE.
Starting over is an act of risk-taking with the promise of something fresh on the horizon. You may not always like what you discover but I am sure of one thing at least... you won't be do
Venturing anew
It's not easy to get into a rut with my work. I think this is because I am not loyal to any one medium of expression.
I love to write poetry but I also love to take photos and draw trees and try new things but I don't always venture into unchartered territory without encouragement and fellow travellers to inspire me along the way.
So... trying my hand at abstract art is certainly new for me but more than that, it also marks the very FIRST time I am collaborating with another artist, ~borjen-art (https://www.deviantart.com/borjen-art) whose work I deeply admire and who has also chosen to chart new pathways in his practice of late.
Collaboration is not something I do because I
Home and Happy
I've been absent from DA for weeks now... feels surreal not to write as much as I used to but every day has been so full of the emotions and sensations that fuel an intense feeling of happiness in me that I am... frankly... too blissed out to care! :)
But today, sitting on a park bench and watching the trees sway, I was moved to pen copious lines that would not end.
It's nice to be back living in the word again.
