Art & Awakening
I’m looking forward to when my daughter is old enough to paint alongside me instead of try to eat the brushes! In the meantime, I paint while she naps or I create things out of non-toxic substances that she can grab at while I use them. Today, I started working on a fabric collage of POMEGRANATES (Recently, I have been obsessed with pomegranates. Perhaps because spring is coming, and pomegranates are a symbol of swelling, bursting fertility)!
❝ The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetretrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness. ❞

❝ You are the sun in drag.
You are God hiding from yourself.
Remove all the “mine” – that is the veil.
Why ever worry about
Anything?
Listen to what your friend Hafiz
Knows for certain:
The appearance of this world
Is a Magi’s brilliant trick, though its affairs are
Nothing into nothing.
You are a divine elephant with amnesia
Trying to live in an ant
Hole.
Sweetheart, O sweetheart
YOU ARE GOD IN
DRAG! ❞
- Hafiz, Iranian mystic + poet

“Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more sees more – more unseen forms become manifest to him.” - Rumi
❝ Color possesses me. I don’t have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter. ❞
