and as I hung out with the kids at the pool today....I thought of something that recently entered into my mind...one of those moments....where you just figured out something...something deep that you kinda, just go...huh.
like when I was doing linguistics research....and had a hunch....about something....something intuitive....that you later can actually see as concrete...in relation to other things...you see a pattern that makes sense....and that pattern proves to be...solidly true....
and so.....I begin...
every square inch of a watercolor is a painting in itself....mikros cosmos...a wondrously perfect miniatured miracle.
the effortless transformation of paint and paper brought together by water....I say effortless because on a watermark scale....what happens with paper, paint, and water is not really manipulated by the creator....free will...happens.
paint and paper....a yin and yang relationship...where two solids...adhere together creating beauty...and inspiration...moved by water....moved by love.
love....the water....that makes miracles happen....
sometimes, love...well, if humans are open to the endless possibilities of love...that love is the most beautiful, soul quenching love...it takes both paint and paper to be ready for what water will do..
and when water does...what water needs to do...and paper and paint are willing....
it transforms both....into something they weren't before.
and
that...
is why I love watercolors.....
because...it ain't what you do...it's the way that you do it....
sometimes, in order to be completely ready for the intense transformation of water...you need to go with the flow...as my grandmother says, and just feel....the love you feel is reflected by the love you are open to....meaning...the more you open your heart...the more intense you will feel love....
like a valve...
close it by half...and that's what you get.....
I stumbled upon this today....after I wrote my blog....
"when the wisdom of the heart replaces the chatter of the mind, the power of love flows forth...
to the extent that our mental focus is on blessing rather than condemnation, we are in our natural state and love can find us....every thought and every word determines that...
In the state of love, we are magnets for love...we are literally more lovable and more enjoyable to love.
Love becomes intoxicating, and that is how it should be." (Williamson, M. 2001).
and so here...
I know it's a long blog...but....the song...that reminds me of the power....of just.....love...and this song- an example of leitmotif. :)
love, they will be done
I can no longer hide
I can no longer run
no longer can I resist the guiding light,
it give me the power to keep up the fight....
love, thy will be done
since I have found you my life has just begun
and I see all of your creations as one
perfect complex
no one less beautiful or
more special than the next
we are all blessed and so wise to accept
thy will love, be done
love, thy will be mine,
and make me strive for the glorious and divine
I could not be more- more satisfied
even when there's no peace outside my window
there's peace inside
and that's why I no longer run...------
also, how? how do you experience more love? be open to more love? acceptance....no fear...take the ceiling off, shake off the old limitations....embrace, beauty and truth and goodness. :)
Be love....
peace...and love....and that is all.
