It's only 08.00 and I've been awake for more than 3 hours! I woke up after a dream knowing I just had to paint a picture. Funny. I've had a huge lack of inspiration for weeks now, but this dream (and a great teraphy session yesterday) kicked my butt and made me run down the stairs to my studio. Not only did I knew exactly what to paint - I also felt a growing conciousness: I have to create. That's my gift. A gift from me to me. Using my creativity makes me able to breath. I need to express myself - that's how I live. To hell with all the stupid voices inside my head that are telling me that I'm not talented enough, or that I'm talking too much, laughing too loud... I'm breathing through my expressions.
Sometimes words are too hard to say out loud. Okey, right now I just have to accept that. But that doesn't mean it's forever impossible. I just need some practise. And a great way of practisising is to use other kinds of expressions. I've found myself a perfect song that says the words I need to say, and I even dare myself to sing along... It is pure magic. The song works in mysterious ways... Gives me strength and power.
And during my deams I'm given the "stories" I need right now. My dreams are the best way of communicate with my inner self. I just have to listen. And believe. Like this morning, when I woke up knowing that painting would give me both joy, peace and selfesteem.

These experiences make me trust the prosess. I'm not strong enough yet, but I'll be there. When the time is right. And in the meanwhile I'll keep on practisising.
The picture is inspired by a norwegian saying: She held something in her heart. (In English: She had something on her mind.) I've played with the background - mixing several techniques and colors, but I wanted the picture to be as simple as possible. I know the whole situation feels ovewhelming - like a chaotic mix of techniques and colors - but in the end it's all very simple: Listen to your heart. That's it.
A detail picture of the background...
Wish you all a great day!
Remember to express what you need to express - in either way. It may make you feel more alive.
Love,
Åshild
