This is a quick entry. I've just finished a 9 month twelve step program that pretty much leaves no stone un-turned as far as forms of denial go, how I've been hurt, whom I've hurt, how to fix what I can, and how to live and think in more healthy ways. In many senses I don't know yet what, if anything, has changed in me. One thing that seems to have, is me being more open and honest (or are those the same?). It's come out unintentionally in some large artworks I've done for my church this year. Really uncanny for me how many people in the last months have been magnetically drawn to these over-sized pictures I've poured my soul into and have come to tell me so. I even got a card in the mail yesterday thanking me for the current display. I don't know what it is. It's as if the art now has a soul. Like Pinocchio becoming a real boy.
An unexpected reward for willingly trudging through this 12 step program though it seemed to almost kill me at times. (It's called Freedom Sessions, by the way) Still not sure how to deal with all the responses but I'm starting with thank you's.
