I thought I'd mix it up tonight and start posting what I use to post back in the myspace blog days...
Art is a huge part of my life along with work but what can keep me talking for hours is the stuff of love, the spirit, and how love comes about at the deepest level.
Sure it starts with loving oneself and then that feeling spreads to everyone around you. But how do you get it? Do you find it under a rock somewhere? Do you luck up on it? Did your mom just pack it in your lunch on your way to school? Absolutely not. My friends always make fun of me because I'm expressive and deliberate about this fickle thing that's intangible. I truly feel everything I do comes from the foundation of love and the practice of sharing it with others...And it doesn't have to come with pain, suffering, greed or manipulation...it naturally comes from awareness...the process can be hard sometimes...but what process isn't when you're trying to achieve something amazing?
I've discovered and practice awareness in every situation (or at least try) with love and compassion, be it good or bad. And to break it down...this is basically what I noticed.
Whenever there is a problem:
There's a question trying to ask itself
Instead of fixing the problem with logic (which is important to a certain degree), I approach it by understanding what question is trying to be asked.
What intelligence is trying to happen?
What gift is trying to be given?
When you're interested and you stay awake, the answers come...and what you do becomes intentional instead of allowing life's noises, fears or perceptions get the best out of you.
What question do you have?
