When Trees Dance

Wandering. No agenda other than one foot in front of the other. Done this lots over the years. Love it.

Wandering leads to discovery. And discovery leads to feelings felt before but never experienced this way.

Turn a corner and the trees stand amidst elements of magic. The air is electric and unplugged. Deep shadows ebb and flow with sunlight defining nothing and everything. The music is so loud it is silent. And the trees, so filled with energy, are motionless. And the trees are dancing.

Is it time to move on? To explore some more?

Allow Your Eyes To Hear

Those paintings you see on a wall in predictable square and rectangular shapes hold unpredictable stories for you. Watch each painting and allow your eyes to hear.

Yes, watch a painting rather than simply look at it. To only look is to notice that the painting exists. But to watch allows the being of the painting to be alive in the moment with you. Alive with stories for your eyes to hear.

George Bernard Shaw knew this. He said, “You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.” If we treat a painting like a mirror it provides only reflection. If we watch the painting, there is so much more to be understood about ourselves than a mirror reflection. provides.

Watch the painting and allow the stories to be heard. As Shaw would suggest, these are soul sources from shapes, patterns, and colours to touch us as deeply as we allow our eyes to hear.

A Drought Within Ourselves

A wonderful gray morning outside.

There’s rain falling. The last couple months have been near drought so the rain is touching very dry land.

Each drop seems absorbed instantly. The rain will nourish. The soil looks dry still but soon brown grass will find green colour to transform the landscape.

Art does this too. It will replenish our dryness when we stand within the energies of a piece. And in this, we are nourished.

If you have a piece of original art you cherish, go now to be with it and feel the blessings it shares with you.

If you don’t have original art you love, find some, and praise yourself for your wisdom in the process. Allow the energies of this art to rain nourishment on you.

We experience drought within ourselves at times. Art will bring us a rainstorm to quench the feelings in our heart.

Love The Feelings

Say it!

Use the word ‘love’ when you love a piece of art. Hear it. Recognise the feeling within and express yourself.

Yesterday an email arrived in response to a painting shared through a recent newsletter. The painting, ‘Summer Therapy’, is the one attached below and it was also featured in the previous blog.

The email writer, Sue B., simply allowed her feelings to happen as she wrote, “It wouldn’t matter what time of year it was to truly enjoy this burst of summer flowers.” And then, Sue referenced love in sharing, “I love the one red one. And the yellow spot below the flowers.”

Simple statements of enjoyment sourced on love. Not profound in knowledge but so wise in knowing oneself. Knowing that something one sees is something to love.

Art helps us express our feelings openly. If you don’t like it, that’s an honest feeling to be understood and acknowledged. If you love it, embrace this and allow the feeling to prosper.

So, “Summer Therapy’ bring you feelings?

Summer Therapy

Yes, warm breezes with stage lights bright sunshine and rainbows of colours. That’s an order off the menu any day it’s available. It’s called ‘summer therapy’ and it is priceless.

But summer soon slides away as autumn spills into our life. There’s a brilliant colour show but evenings are much cooler and there’s nothing like a frost in the morning to tell us the joy of wearing sandals is ending. Mother Nature simply does what it does.

Summer therapy is possible twelve months a year if you can move to a tropical place but this isn’t possible for everyone. Many of us spend a few thousand every year for maybe ten days in such places as winter rages at home.

An alternative summer therapy source is a painting of summer. Find one that speaks to you. Hang this image of summer where you will see it often. Allow yourself to walk through the summer details. Enjoy it for the endless summer feelings it brings your heart.

Summer therapy is what you allow it to be.

Morning Perspective

Mornings around here include quiet time in the LazyBoy temple with a coffee. Across the room, paintings brighten with early sunlight flowing through the windows.

Shadow patterns move slowly over the paintings. Reds are more intense in places and blues deeper. Yellows glow in response to the touch of sunlight. Greens seem to grow.

A painting now sparkles in places where it usually feels dark. And surface texture shares new intentions. Did the artist intend this to happen?

The morning sunlight moves down the wall as the sun moves higher. The paintings return to how they were.
