To express our emotions and our views in an artistic manner, we must picture what our feelings look like on the outside of ourselves and show how we see people, places and things in creative ways. To discover knowledge, we must first envision a theory and then go through the steps that will lead to locating the truth of what’s there. To experience change in both our emotional responses to life and our logic of who we believe we are, we have to imagine bringing ourselves to a different position before we know what it’s actually like to be in that place. Each of those desires, as well as so many other things, rely upon the use of imagination as a part of the series of movements that guides us to what’s possible but not always to what we hope we will find. In today’s picture, the designer of it has placed three inanimate objects where they are together but not together on a board. Visually the space between the items makes their separation obvious and their particular appearances is also another way to see how they are not together but since they are resting in the same location, what would be the reason for them being there? If those things were the visualization of the artist’s feelings, which ones do you imagine they represent? What, then, about that piece of wood that is an obscure part of their togetherness? Would placing them in different positions on that board change what each is capable of? Or what if one or all of those pieces were no longer beneficial in their established role, could they then be used in an unexpected manner? Now turn around and visualize as well as feel some of the weight of the world that you, yourself, are keeping together but not together within you. What if you were to rearrange the positions of your things from front to back or into the shadows from the light? Would what you see and feel then change or remain as they have been established? Can you imagine each being used to bring you to a place other than the one that you have become familiar and comfortable with? One of the most painful and challenging parts of losing Ryan has been in learning to take my intense feelings and repurpose or transform them rather than just move them around or close the door on the mess as had been established by me in the yesterdays. As a work of art in progress, I am also discovering the beauty of those out of the blue wins when my kind of life, a so very heavell one, doesn’t always hold what I hope for, or it throws me off of an emotional cliff into the place where my dragons are not in the form of mystical creatures but are just as scary for me. Today is a good moment for you to take what has been yours to carry and use all or some of it to be loud in expressing yourself in ways that you haven’t imagined were possible because of what has been together but not together in your theories. After all, you never pictured yourself here and yet in this place you are so take the chance to envision, step by step, what you will look like after you leave this particular part of your journey in your matter of time. If you need a reminder on how to imagine more of something, think about how even in epic tales, boxes of tissues have been established to be used for the moments that individuals cry from pain but in a different truth they are just as important when tears stream out of our eyes because we are laughing until our stomachs hurt about those dreaded “f” moments that no longer live in our messes. Have the best day POSSIBLE for you. Love Always, Heavell
Thank you, Mom, for always sharing your love of art with us and for teaching us to pay attention to the details because the whole will be all right if the particulars are together, but the entity can’t be what we hope for if the parts are not together even when they are located on the same board or picture or trail or page or whatever.
