warm-ups and seeds....

sometimes...I need to just paint something that doesn't really make sense to my brain...but that my heart feels....and it's just for me to warm up.

like a lap around the track....


or running scales before playing a piano piece....or doing some funny gibberish rhyming thing before singing in choir.


so...today...warm ups.

warming up....

and as I've said before....lemons....lemons into lemonade....there's no mistakes here.  creation takes different avenues....something created today....will be used in a different way tomorrow...or next week....just express...and breath.  the painting need not be finished today....and maybe it gets new life later.

and I came across this....which is apparently a Mexican proverb...I thought it...so powerful.


they tried to bury us...but didn't realize we were seeds.  


I kinda love this...the underdog rising up....the power of potential...and the strength of a different perspective....when tenacity rings true and bursts out of the ground like a burning phoenix.

...and here I am...dot connecting...maybe this rings true to you...and you can find some strength in it....rest, grow....and come out kicking ass...and love yourself...because should you ever ever doubt how much like the stars you can shine...just know that....you are shining right now...bright...you might not see it today....but you will....


I am love....and I am strength.....and I am...me....


warming up.

and

peace...love...and seeds....may your seeds burst through the earth and show whoever buried them that....you are triumphantly....alive.
