Beyond the midst
Great mysteries lie
Hidden from view
Unseen by the naked eye.
Forging a new path or engaging in a new venture can be exciting, thrilling and perhaps a bit daunting. New aspirations take time, energy and focus. They may also require acquiring unfamiliar skills, a learning curve and some trial and error.
For example, I’m fascinated by the energy vibrations of color and unusual color combinations. Early on in my art career, I experimented and mixed – and mixed and mixed again. And for a while, the color ended up looking like well, mud.
In my inner image, I could see and feel the color I was compelled to create. And I kept mixing until I matched both what I saw, and what I felt.
But what if your vision is fuzzy? What if you can only see a part of the picture? How do you take the next steps?
When I look at this piece, the shifting shapes and warm swirling images remind me that our lives are constantly changing. The soft muted tones relax me allowing me to stay receptive until the midst clears.
What helps you the most when your picture is blurred or incomplete — a walk on the beach, inspiring art and music, time with loved ones, or just having some fun?
I know I’m on the right path if I’m experiencing wonder, openness, and curiosity. And when I can’t see through the haze, I take time to appreciate all the many satisfying and fulfilling dreams and desires, large and small, that I’m living and enjoying right now.
