Your Vulnerability Is Your Superpower ( And That’s What Makes You An Artist)

Part of my recent recommitment to artistry is selfish. It’s my selfish way to convince more people to join this spectacular ride of feeling. Not the ride of feeling better, or smothering yourself with felt good sensation ( which there are plenty) but the joys and resuscitation of BEING able to feel.

In my journeys as a hu-man , what I’ve noticed so far is so many  paths, being shared with people, that enjoy the opening of feeling, but then constrict it to only allow certain aspects of feeling .

Similar to telling God. Yes, I want to feel the warmth on my skin. No , I reject that cold breeze you have brought me.

The contrast, Is what makes us hu-man . Not the binary , left or right, black or white, but the ability to FEEL contrast .

The most er wake up to seeing feeling as an expierence . The more we wake up our inner artist to explore what we are all feeling. Individually. Collectively. Everything inbetween . The more that the resurrection of feeling being a state of existence, will become normanlized .

The one area, where there has been more global ‘okayness’ to feel , is when you take up that pen, pencil, cray on, whatever calls to you, and start painting. Drawing. Putting on the robe of being an Artist. Letting it show up to you in whatever way it does .

Why?

To be an Artist, is to accept your ego is to always evolve with the art.

With that, it’s the one place where identity , isn’t going to hinder your growth. Primarily, because your identity, who ever you think you are, is going to go through, mold through the process of whatever your feeling and transforming into art .

For the sake of being hu-man.
