Mind seeing…

       

 

  I shut my eyes in order to see…

                    The poet, the painter, or the photographer who is locked into only the visual phenomena

                               may miss the heart of what was actually being experienced…

 

 

 

 

 

                Internationalization closes

 

                                   many doors…

 

 

 

 

 

 

                   Do not go where the path may lead,

                              go instead where there is no path and leave a trail

 

                                                                    ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

 

 

 

                  Enjoy the mystery .

                        All the good stuff is hidden in the dark corners.

 

                                            It’s what gives life a sense of vitality…

 

 

 

 

                The brush paints by itself,

                     the dance dances itself,

                             the poem writes itself.

                              There is no longer a gap between artist, subject,

                                      audience, and life…

 

 

 

 

 

              Just see, just hear, just taste,

                just touch, just smell,

                just see a thought without the need to give it a name or identity.

                      This way of perceiving will then begin to translate

 

                         into the way you express yourself through your art…

 

 

 

 

 

   Only that day dawns to which we are awake

 

                                     ~`Henry David Thoreau

 

 

 

 

 

              Develop the ability to experience things directly, without evaluation.

                           You will be able to see, hear fell taste, smell…

                    As your attentiveness and awareness increase with practice….

                              you will begin to notice little things that you have been seeing everyday

                                   but barely noticed in passing…

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Only that day dawns

                          to which we are awake

 

                                     ~`Henry David Thoreau

 

 

 

Each one of us is n artist

   Whether we realize it or not…

 

 

 

 

              When you learn to trust yourself implicitly,

                    you no longer need to prove something

                                  through your art…

 

 

 

 

 

  If the energy is really flowing freely,

                   the brush paints by itself. the camera pictographs,…

                                    .the sculpture forms…the words write… 

 

 

 

 

              To be nothing…to want nothing…

                     to do nothing…

                                      it has to be experienced…

    Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful new year…:-)
