E-Motions

The unthinkable happened. For the second time in a span of 40 days, we lost another precious fur baby, our Jersey. How do you even consciously comprehend that a loved one whom you have known for 18 years is now gone, not once but much less BAM! oh my God twice!? With the first heartbreaking loss, our Sassy, I plummeted to extreme depths I’ve not ever gone before and there was consumed with scorching agony so fierce I did not think I would survive. The purpose however [in hindsight] was to bring light to those tightly locked dark depths within myself desperate to stay hidden. I traversed the Hero’s Journey, involving a Mind-Body-Spirit Initiation and when I returned to the surface I was forever changed.

With the second transformational shocking horror, the burning arrow again through the heart had me carefully deciding how to cope with this unfathomable grief. I chose a direction completely divergent from my first choice deciding to funnel my attention on that which brings me child-like fascination and glee. And just like that swiftly a passion arose within me seeking those talents that declare ….. Hey, the kid wants to draw and paint! Off I went to buy supplies so I can dabble in a world my own Father mastered. The exhilarating excitement bubbled to the surface and for the first time in this lifetime, I found myself free to explore fun and thrills through the expressions of my hands. Art. Wow!

E-motions. Energy in motion. I could again dip into depths of despair so deep that the world turns black and bleak. No. Simply no. I’ve done it. Mission accomplished. That which was to be seen was seen and changed in order for me to be in this magical place where golden energies flow when my hand flies over paper with pencil or brush, or spend moments with my camera. We all have those choices every day in fact for where our focus lands is exactly where we end up. We create with our e-motions. We do. Oh yes my heart is utterly shattered again, my Mother’s heart still so rawly tender from the loss of Sassy, yet with Jersey, her Gift to me is the freedom to explore the inner artist that now clamors to be known.

Yes yes I respond! I hear you I feel you I know you! I’ve unlocked the door. I will see what I can do. My choice is mine, my e-motions focus on creating Light that lead me to bliss to calm to wondrous color and form. A deep satisfaction forms as a quiet sigh escapes from my lips. Healing balm in the form of art and camera are what are called for, empowering me to spiral forward. Now is the time, my friends, to make choices and they are as far apart from one another as galaxies. You can either choose to create a golden world or choose to create a very dark one. And yes we can still choose Light even with raging storms about.

The music below is for your listening pleasure as you view my images …. Take notice of what e-motions you feel with each image. There is quite the variety today. Know I love each and every one of you.
