Hi everyone, wherever you may be,
I hope that everyone is doing well in the midst of all the uncertainty that swirls around us on planet earth these days.
At the end of the day, we all have so much to be grateful for. Here is my list of 10 for today:
*whatever created me and gave me life
* my beautiful daughter
* being alive
* being healthy
* having a home
* my fiends
* my brain
* my well functioning faculty
* coffee
* art being art and existing in this world
What are you grateful for today?
Do you have time periods when your dreams become vivid , alive and filled with color?
I am currently having those type last of dreams and they leave me wondering about where we actually go in our dreams and what part of our faculties is actually active?
There are so many levels of dreams that you can detect and so many different kinds, it would take a lifetime of research to get inside of this mystery.
Do you dream in color?
Good Morning,
This image is one of my favourites that I have taken of my daughter and is both sentimental for me and expressive of her playful nature.
I was looking at it today and thinking of how important it is to remain lighthearted and free. We get that bashed out of us as we get older and what a a pity that is.
I tend to dedicate a part of my life to silliness and I don’t plan on giving that up any time soon. So cheers to the goofballs of this world, some of which are dear friends of mine. I miss you all and quarantine will end in a few days! Yay.
Good Morning,
I have learned throughout my life to create bubbles to exist in when needed. These bubbles are unseen but they are as real as anything else that you may conceive as tangible.
In your bubble you can permit only thoughts that want to have, feelings that you consider suitable at that moment and frequencies that are enhancing to your process. The bubble is not automatically generated but takes years of work and determination. It also acts as a shield that keeps unwanted intrusions into your internal process, and when this works, it’s phenomenal.
Today is one of those days that I need my bubble, so I will be busily generating it.
I wish you all a peaceful weekend, full of color, beauty, health and tons and inspiration. I have been at my animation classes since 4:30 am and learning has never felt better.
Good Morning,
Let’s talk about color. What is it really? Why do we need to see it? Why is our planet blue? Why is the sun yellow? Why do we see the rainbow? Why are we drawn to different colors? How do different color influence us?
That’s an ongoing life long research but have you ever tried this simple experiment? Take a set of crayons and every day see which color is popping out or standing out more than the others? Try to tune to that color that day, wear it, draw with it, look for examples of it, and register the effects of that. I did that for years and I keep the colored pencils near my desk for that reason.
Maybe even consider that wearing the wrong color for you that day can have an influence on your whole day’s goings on.
And one more phrase to contemplate: “color is a cloak of force”.
Wishing you a colorful end of the week. Today we will drive to the yellow desert.
Good Morning,
This is day 2 on this trip to Dubai and I am slowly adjusting to its timings, rhythms and frequency.
It’s probably the case with many photographers, discovering that it takes time to connect with a place during travel. Usually and if I have the luxury of time, then I try not to take photos on the first day. Instead I walk around, take in the impressions around me and wait for the place to draw my lens to it.
But then there are days where you see it all come together, the sun, the sea, the birds, the color,the silhouette and the incredible details and you just have to make the photograph.
Do you dream in color or monochrome? I have had this wish to recreate dreams in visual designs and until I started to learn motion design, this was not even a remote possibility. I am loving this journey of expanding my skillset to include live footage, animation, photography and sound design. I believe that we should never stop learning new skills and sharing them.
What new skills are you learning?
Sometimes the world feels so vast, it’s people too many and the weight of it to heavy to bear. At those moments, and if you were a person that enjoys their own company with the endless mazes ripe with possibilities of self discovery, then the obvious result would be a self engineered containment. It can have the color of your own choosing, a palace on a hill or a hut on a beach, butterflies in its gardens or pebbles on its beach, the choices are endless.
So, I travel in my mind to my own palace of containment, letting my mind chart the journey and my spirit project the destinations.
Yes, our destinies can be re-written, by us.
It’s the human way to sympathize with our fellow residents of human earth. It’s a shared space and we could use to be more respecting of our beautiful planet and it’s inhabitants. Thinking of where we are and where we are heading today. Investigative thoughts on an otherwise calm day in Germany.
Day 89 of 365~
How good it feels to escape for a day or two. To be with nature and away from the normal. Breaking habitual living makes all fresh again.
Wishing you all a peaceful end of the week!
Day 88 of 365~
