Perception is everything

What you see and perceive is not necessarily what is

At times we see things through rose colored glasses

We see what we want to see because we are in that space

We cant help it and we are often biased

To see the things we would like to see,

Want to see...

Rarely are we aligned to the environment around us to see what we NEED to see

In come the filters

And selective ignorance

We pick, sort, label and categorize

Then we sit back and wait

Not knowing that our intentions set the pace for all our life experiences

Quality vs Quantity

The difference between whats what

And what is...

Is it ever what it actually is?!

Starting anything is the hardest part

When you have to identify a starting point

The actual place to start

To start eating, or walking

Or washing and dressing

Then there's starting a project...

Executing a grand idea

Starting an assignment

Booking a flight or starting a meeting

Then the hardest...

Starting a conversation

A talk with another, complementing them

Asking a question

Wanting something from them without making them feel used

Explaining things, your thoughts or ideas

Harder yet, your feelings

"You hurt me"

"I dont like it when you dont call me"

"I miss you"

"Am sorry"

"Lets break up"

"He's dead"

" I don't know how to do this"

"Forgive me"

"I don't know"

"I'll do better next time"

How to say this, without losing myself

Mishandling vulnerability

Or worse yet exploiting it

Starting something...

Its always taking responsibility

Being the starter

And its always testing your strength

How far your courage goes

How strong your weakness is

How deep your fear runs

But never how much you're worth

Starting something is always setting the pace

A pace only you can keep up with and

A fire only you can contain

It's funny how I come across this now. I was in Denmark during halloween and I went through it in two ways. At an Asian Mythology costume party and at an Afro halloween party... Both had nothing extreme in terms of evil.

On the right a Halloween Witch and on the left a Sankthans Witch.

Halloween (October 31) is seen as the best night to remember or contact the dead so understandably witches are linked to that day. People only very recently started celebrating it in Denmark and a lot of poo-poo people complain that it’s “American nonsense” but they forget that it has always been part of Danish culture, we just call it Allehelgensaften and few people did much besides remember the dead or the Christian saints if anything at all. The poo-poo people just have a problem with the Americanized celebration of it.

Sankthans (July 24) is believed to be the most magically charged day of the year in Denmark and is seen as the best possible night to collect plants and predicting the future. It is celebrated with a big bonfire, music and drinks. It’s a pagan tradition that the church tried to commandeer, but with mixed luck. In the 1920’s people started putting witch dolls on the fire but not with the intention to kill them. Instead people see the fire as a magic boost that will help the witch fly all the way to either Germany or Iceland where she can party with all her witch friends in the mountains while her community stays back and party in their honor. When the doll crumble into the fire people cheer and say “She took off!”

So in Denmark Halloween is the night of evil Witches and Sankthans is the night of good Witches. These two are cousins.

The thing about art is... it's always an expression of a small part, singled out from the many parts which make up the soul that created it.

Speak your silence,

Hold your thoughts,

Feel your scent and mould your happiness,

Like a child does with plastacine...

NO ONE knows beyond what they know,

Don't be fooled by logic and speculation,

Feel a song and enjoy a scent,

Dance to the thought of your food,

Touch with the intent to feel,

Know texture through sight and pictures through touch,

Maybe then you will understand perspective,

That we're all Right as long as we know where the Middle is Left...

Restrain is formidable,

Like the bursting banks of a riverbed,

You hold back to the best of your ability,

You hold back tears,

You hold back words,

You hold back actions,

Opinions, Facts, Conversations....

You hold them all back until you can't anymore,

Until your banks are spilling, overflowing with the need to dispel and propel yourself to freedom,

To fresh breath and wisdom...

Restrain is formidable,

And like any unstopabble force... Whatever is to come, will come

It's just a matter of time
