i wanted to share something and don't have a new
piece of art to upload...
wrote this over the unplugged weekend.
"half of me"
half of me wants to hide away
and do my own thing
the other half wants to create community
half of me wants to own a little plot of land
and to have a home
the other half needs to wander aimlessly
around the world
half of me wants to volunteer to help others
the other half wants to focus on
my art career
half of me wants to teach
and share my passions with others
the other half longs to go and learn
all of the things i have been wanting to for a while
half of me wants to sleep and watch movies
and chillax for a while
the other half wants to do all of the things
on my long ass "to do" list
half of me wants to focus on religion and
develop my spirituality
the other half wants to
be blissfully ignorant of all that entails
half of me would love to renounce
all of my possessions
the other half craves
shopping for a cute dress at anthropologie
half of me longs to have a family of my own
the other half loves the freedom of not having one
half of me wants to go exercise
the other half is way too lazy
half of me is full of strength
the other half is filled with fear
half of me is happy
the other half gets sad often
but today
i am fully grateful, wholly aware,
uncovering the balance, feeling love,
attempting to practice patience
and blissfully inspired...

hey jennifer,
half of me is nodding and smiling, happily knowing that place so well;
half of me is shaking her head frustrated, knowing that place so well :) But as you conclude, it is fabulous having both halves - knowing both sides allows us to experience that balance, to have compassion and understanding for the hard workers, the volunteers, the spiritual seekers, the blissfully ignorant, the givers, the consumers, and so on - to be it all is to know it all, which is to love it all - ah life!! ain't it grand :)
big hug and much love, Karin
ps I have a favor to ask - will you take some photos for me at Gloria's show? I really want to *see* it, but can't make the travel. I'd love some close up details of that new stuff!! so gorgeous...
loveyoutoowill:)
karin - your comment is awesome! yes, yes, and YES! frustration and peace at the same time - it's a weird feeling... but so truly where i am a lot of the time (juxtapositions!!!)
big hug back to you and i will be sure to get some photos of gloria's work. can't wait to see it...
