So busy!!! Galleries, Illnesses, Exhibits and Art Making- OH MY!

10/24/2014

So so so so SO much going on!

At A Guilded Gallery, Larry and I are trying to get the Aspiring Artists' Exhibit up and running... not much participation yet, but we hope to get much, much more going. We had planned to have signs and posters up everywhere public, but the tonsillitis and the cold I got afterwards a week after had put a major damper on my ability to do much at all. Larry had surgery October 16 and it has taken him a week to be able to move without wincing. We are behind about that, but doing our best. For more information, click here and invite the closeted creatives in your life. As a last ditch effort, I posted the information on every local facebook page I could.

As far as my own art, I have several pieces finished, just need to frame/matt things. As with anyone right-brained, these small details are not my forte! I'd rather sell the things as-is and let the buyers choose what works best in their homes. That makes the most sense to me.

The newest additions are created from modeled copper spraypaint (yes, spraypaint). Pictures to come!

A barn/landscape old fashioned oil painting is also finished and I have to admit, for as tight as it is, I like it. What worked: the color scheme. What didn't: I painted on top of a colored canvas. It took me so long to cover it with enough paint to get rid of the red underneath. It would have been ok, but I didn't want red in a blue sky. Note to self... do not use colored gesso or canvases unless you're sure the color adds to the whole piece. Portraits, fine-- landscapes? Not so much.

I've got a beautiful new piece in my head-- on the backburner, a spiritual one having to do with the dream I had :)

Two more have to do with dealing with uncomfortable feelings, but will be COOL.

The last one is paint as paint and is just because... and it'll be fun.

I am geared up to go!

I'm tired of being the hero in the story, just for today

So, I write when I'm down. Well, I'm down.

Today, I have a cold, pms, a yeast infection, stomach “issues” from stress and I've been harrassed by someone who has worn down my tolerance for them to nearly nil. The first four will resolve on their own in time and the fifth is going to be fixed with limited exposure. (Yes, Dr. Massong, I listened and learned. Your therapy did not go to waste :) )

Limited exposure... what does that mean? Not allowing someone close enough, time enough or space enough to say anything other than hello or goodbye. Thats it. Some people get more, but some people get less. You determine that by how much you'd like to set their feet on fire and clap as they dance.

You can hang around with those who purposely irritate you, but why? This particular person is dead to any one else's perspective other than his own, so communicating in order to come to an understanding is wasting both time and breath.

The high road. Some of us know what that is, some don't (don't kid yourself, they exist) and others avoid it when they think they aren't being observed. Me? I know what the high road is, take it until my patience is worn to the bone and then its “on”. Unfortunately, when that happens, there is no way to win because as witty and as biting as I can be, I still lose because I know what road I'm supposed to be on and I cut myself no slack.

Gee, thanks, Mom. LOL

So, back to the high road. And apparently the potty.

Intense inner awakenings

So, the whole jest was this~ I was pregnant with twins. I didn't know that the dream meant anything else at this point, but the meaning of pregnancy/birth is obviously creativity, potential, giving life to something, a major life change coming into being. I was caring and carrying one experience of two entities. Birth is the utmost importance in a woman's life, one in which she would die for. I was showing it off proudly (I find out later it is us).

On the way "home" (forward motion), someone (who had no idea of the preciousness of the cargo inside and was only acting out of his own feelings- unaware and oblivious to their importance) was trying to run the car off the road. He was ramming our car and otherwise being dangerous. Without a second thought, I got out of the car (and it was an old one) and said, "I will NOT allow you to hurt them." I let the person know I would stop at nothing to protect them, not out of malice, but out of love. If it meant an ultimate sacrifice, I would do so without hesitation.

(Somehow I knew he wasn't supposed to be there, on the road and going in that direction because he was impaired. Don't ask me how I know that, it was one of those "knowing things". I was also protecting other people on the road, so I took his keys, car, etc.) We left him there secure knowing that everyone was safe until he gained his "senses". Which somehow I knew he would and then he would be ok.

So, after running him off, at home, the twins started to become clear. It was a gift they had, they were unveiling themselves and their magnificence. They let me see them through my skin that looked like a transparent and translucent veil. I asked others if they saw them, too... "Are you SEEING this??!" and they all said "no". I said that I could tell it was a boy and a girl. They said, "Stop showing off, we know you know things." ??? What is that supposed to mean? LOL

Anyway, their beauty hit me with such a force of awe, humility and gratitude. I said, "Oh my God, they are so beautiful, I can't believe you can't see this. I wish you could see what I'm seeing". Their hair shown like gold lit up from inside, their eyes were clear. Angels fit the description, but they weren't angels. Somehow, I was gifted with the knowledge that they are what we are before we have to be clothed/prepared to come into the world. I realized this was something special they allowed me to know.

Then everything around the 3 of us in the background fell away... there was nothing else but the two there inside the safety of me and me, outside of myself looking at them. I think they realized, for lack of a better description, I had passed an important milestone that had proven to them their importance to me and I was allowed to know the full scope of their significance. By protecting them, this brought them security to reveal who and what they actually were.

I was in front of them, their heads, face to face at 3/4 pose as they looked at me sweetly, knowingly and with recognition, were in the shape of a heart with their bodies going down forming the lower point of the heart. On the left of them was a chunk of wood that looked suspiciously like a chunk of ivy

Blown away, I started to ask them questions "How am I doing this???" and with a purity and an innocence I can't describe, they said, "Because you can." I asked "Why am I doing this?" (What is the purpose?) They answered sweetly, "Because you are supposed to." They imparted that the questions and answers had two meanings: this is what I was meant to do, see what can't be seen. Back to the first question, they imparted that double meaning, in that the answer had as much to do with the other things I know without knowing how.

I can't call them babies because they were waaaay too wise, knowing everything with an impartiality and absolutely NO fear. They could speak with their souls, and that is what they were. They told me they were twins, soul mates.

They have been together eternally in one form or another- it was this way yesterday, today and will be again. They also imparted that their wisdom was also eternal, they were aware of literally everything- past, present and future. Accidents have happened and they do get separated, but when they are separated, they don't judge, yet bide their time until they are reunited. It has always been this way and will continue to be. What they had was beyond love, it doesn't have a name, so we call it "soul mate", which means Twin Souls.

They told me without words that two things are coming, but didn't tell me what. One had to do with wood on the left of the mental image (our business?) and the other is the culmination of the pregnancy (which is two entities in the security of an enclosed space, the womb is symbolic of the relationship.)

So, I guess I couldn't physically take anymore. I woke up shaking, literally. I rubbed my hands over my face and every part of me was hot. My hands are almost always cold, as are my feet, but they were burning up. I think that is from their energy. Somehow, still in that open space, more information came in and I knew that only some people's psyches can tolerate knowing things and that is why not all of us can be clairvoyant. I think it has to do with judgement and fear. If we can grow past that, we are open. I also "found out" that experiencing the purity of our own souls and where we come from is almost intolerable to our physical bodies. It has a profound physical effect that we cannot contain. Its not an ignorance we're given because of malice, it is a protective measure.

It felt like I couldn't contain this energy I'd absorbed, like being shocked by electricity, my heart was pounding so hard I swear the sheets and my shirt was moving with the rhythm. I held my hand out to take note of the shaking while trying to get my bearings and debate whether or not I should come tell you... you needed your sleep, but I also wanted you to be part of this experience with me. When I felt it was safe enough to get up and move, I got a beta blocker to grab the reigns of my heart and you woke up, so I told you But I could only tell you a little because it hadn't sunk in, I was still in shock. So, this was the rest of it

Wow. This is the most significant and profound dream I've ever had.
