Your art is a conduit for you to find a way through the layers of illusion. Its kind of like working through the layers of phylo pastry as one eats a spinokopita. At some stage, you reach spinach and feta. For some, the actual flavorful discovery is a curious surprise. You sense it is there somewhere, but tasting it is still a bit of a shock. Another analogy is working your way through the leaves to the heart of an artichoke or peeling away the skins to the centre of the onion. In every case, you sense when you are on the surface and making your way to the crux, the root of the matter. Each journey is a life-transforming process. We are all with you in spriit at every stage. We are the physlo, the spinich, feta, artichoke, onion, paper and all the creative materials you ever use. We are all same energy and source.Liara Coverthttp://blog.dreambuilders.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-50911634211942949392010-04-23T06:29:21.024-04:002010-04-23T06:29:21.024-04:00you are amazing. thank you. blessings..you are amazing. thank you. blessings..vivianhttp://www.desertbloom.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-70321917869243123892010-04-09T07:00:31.499-04:002010-04-09T07:00:31.499-04:00Wow!

I appreciate your message so much. xox<br /><br />Hi Gloria, thank you - yes, it really does help, making those creative marks!<br /><br />I can understand what you mean Linda Sue. I used to use my wood sculpting that way - to release with sawing, sanding, carving - but my body doesn't allow for that kind of release any more. Thankfully I've been able to adjust, or I think I'd go crazy! One way or another, we gotta let it out!!<br /><br />Hi Sue, yes - woo hoo indeed! thank you thank you for your heartful message! much love, K<br /><br />That's cute Paige! I'll keep up the noodle doodles :)<br /><br />Thank you Liz, it's my honor to share these things, and hear back from you and others. Thank YOU! xox<br /><br />thank you kj, the stories you are collecting are amazing. They bring me to tears still, as I think of Renee, but they are good tears, full of awe.

I pound! It is physical - exhausts the pent up energy into form that is usually pleasing. When everything is in order, only then can I draw- and that takes me into a whole nuther dimension.
