Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who come alive.
Howard Thurman
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

Hmmm...an image of disease? Or of energy? Or perhaps both?
ReplyDeleteOr, maybe, I should stop my writer's tendency to put everything into words?
Just dropped by Karin to send you love and brightness. x
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Karin. The dotted swirls reminds me of films that you see where posessing demons are expelled from the body and leave from the mouth like a swarm of insects or cloudy breath.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to interpret this picture as if you mentally chanelling your energy to evict the cancer. Sending love.
Hmm, can't put it better than Jasmine. As always your colours and shapes are so strong and have such clarity. Just seen the blacka nd white doodling stuff you did, I like that a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe Green Mile comes to mind, the flies of dis ease fly out and healing overtakes the body to restore it to well being.... love heals..
ReplyDeleteI send you love!!! xo
Yes Jay, a bit of both. I feel like I've been being *fed* a whole lot - coming in the form of information (more than my brain can fully process); then there's the chemo, pain meds, glasses upon glasses of water, etc; and yes, bringing in healing energy, using guided imagery; receiving all the good vibes from everyone I know that cares for me - all with healing intent.
ReplyDeleteThen there is the release, as Jasmine and Cat have suggested - the nausea, expelling of disease and guiding the toxic healer smoothly in through and out of my body...
A process- painful, challenging, exhausting- perhaps like all healing processes!
Thanks all, for your caring, loving thoughts.
i love how you did play with colors
ReplyDeleteOh Karin, seeing that come out of your mouth makes me want to gag.
ReplyDeleteLove Renee xoxo
As always your art just blows me away. I think of people with health challenges that have nothing but a television- no way to express themselves and their discomfort...You are so gifted and the fact that you still have enough energy to produce art amazes me. SO GOOD! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteyes expell the ill and inhale the well
ReplyDelete"Or, maybe, I should stop my writer's tendency to put everything into words?"
ReplyDeleteNicely said, Dr. J.
Karin, I've no words...other than I love you.

Such a powerful painting, Karin. The chemo is doing its thing.If you are feeling awful imagine how bad the cancer is feeling. It is packing its bags and leaving the building!
ReplyDeleteThe bright colors say, to me, life- the intensity of it, the energy going in and out...I visualize good energy in, bad energy (cancer) out!

p.s. The Medicine Buddha is that same color blue!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful perspective that reminds everyone of the blue avatar within & cosmic consciousness.
ReplyDeleteI look at this Karin and what immediately arises in my mind is this simple mantra "I breathe out pain"..."I breathe in healing".
ReplyDeleteMay it be so.
very powerful piece - a steady and strong presence, solid, your use of color, line, form, emotionally potent. truly, art heals on so many levels.
ReplyDeletethe title of your blog says it all
