To The Weary Ones

Approximately 2 weeks remain. We have been challenged, distraught, uplifted and shot down. More then that-- life throws us curve balls and we are still expected to crawl out of bed and spew emotion onto sheets of paper. We have made entire projects in 2 hours and we have spent 200 hours on projects that have never been seen.

It takes courage to lay out our thoughts for people to see, often we know they will be picked apart till the last bone is sucked dry, and yet we do it anyway.
We do it until we have exhausted all efforts and then we will do it again.
The more work I look at, the more I am struck by the almost-there quality of it.
We are all just on the cusp, at the waters edge, still clinging tightly to the fear that keeps us safe. The part we hold back is what holds us back.

"How fortunate we are to make our life's work centered on experiencing life with depth and creating a soulful response to it" -Linda Saccoccio

Play, she said...Play, in playing our subconscious releases that which we previously held with clenched fingers and knotted necks.

And so, I wait, with a willingness to learn from you, the visual artist, for I am certain you will show me something that only you can show.

xoxo,
Charlie
