Dreams
“Art is home. Not just for the Artist, but a sharing of one sense of home to the other”
Be Yourself. That's been what 36 has given me: Countless opportunities to be myself, hold it, play with it, and reflect on it. I highly recommend it!
Especially for the brave people out there who don't feel fed by the outside world. Where you feel still hungry for something else. For those people, I dream more of yourself for you.
No matter how it comes out. Whether it comes out crooked, straight, wiggly, big, small, tiny, gigantic, colorful, black, or white—have fun with it.
As I step into 37 today, my birthday wish is to hear about your dreams, and in what ways this year you’ve given yourself an opportunity to touch them. No matter how big or small you may think it is.
For me, my dream is allowing my Inner Child more space to dance this year, and in all the years going forward. She, He, They have been exploring freedom for the last 36 years. Having a taste of it in many different coats. People. Places.
My taste of it right now is the most delicious: Playing with colors, exploring the depths of lines that come out of my hands. Daring to explore a dream where this freedom supports me financially more. The kind of finances where the income that comes in is invested in this tiny world that I’m taking care of. My Family, My Land, My Animals, My Friends.
I’ve had 36 years to explore what it was to live like other people. It was fun; I got to explore different ways of being. And like anything and everything, being myself tastes the best.
The art and insights into my life going on into this year are going to be me expressing that. Giving this little humble world that has birthed life some more space in the world. Not for the attention, fame, or millions. But because this world, I’m proud of. I want to show it off, share it.
And, something inside me is saying that what I’ve uncovered over these years is also someone else's home. Art is home. Not just for the Artist, but a sharing of one sense of home to the other.
May the art birthed and shared here, and on my website, be a portal for many homes here. No matter where you are on your journey of becoming more of yourself.
I love you. Happy Birthday.
