I like your interpretation! This is what I love about art – it has the ability to open a dialogue between people. To me, stories and art, in general, are about communicating ideas and seeing how others respond to those ideas. That's also why I enjoy interviewing people so much. I have my own point of view on how the world works, but when I have the opportunity to engage in a conversation with others, my perspectives shifts through the exchange of energies, ultimately creating a more dynamic point of view. Thank you for sharing your perspective! I truly appreciate it.
I'm not entirely sure if what I am witnessing is a collective shift in consciousness. But I have noticed that a lot of my interactions with people have changed. I also think that I have changed a lot since moving from LA, and by making the decision to live abroad.
I will say that I do feel a "presentness," with others that I have not felt before. Maybe in spurts or with people that I have been longtime friends, but in LA I would never randomly walk by the barber I go to, and then stand there and talk to my barber in broken Spanish/Portuguese mixed with English for an hour LOL! I mean... I find this sort of interaction quite charming now. In LA, I might have found it to be frustrating and/or annoying, but again, I think I have changed a lot...
So, I don't know... What have you noticed? Do you feel like there's a collective shift? What are your thoughts?
Aw I see! I too have been an athlete my entire life, so I can understand the "struggling in order to succeed" mentality. I'm so glad that you are working on this stillness within yourself.
Regarding what you said, "I think people are realising that stillness and silence and complete freedom when it comes to our consumption of external information is actually very hard to come by." I completely agree with you. And I believe that in order to be in flow in this modern age we need to be able to disconnect from that external stimuli. We also need to be truly honest with ourselves about what we want out of life, or else we will be carried by the inertia of simply existing and going through the motions.
I love your paintings btw :) they kind of remind me of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, in the best way!
Your writing is so calming and really sucks the listener in, I felt like I was there. Wonderful!
