Many months ago I intentionally sat down to make some art for some peaceful regulation and some fun. I made this piece and the colours felt playful and youthful like my inner child so I wanted to name it as such. I sat for a few seconds and waited for the name to come to me. ‘Lola, Goddess of Play’ came to me (a fictional goddess, not factual, unless there is/are indeed goddesses of play)
Anyway, just a moment ago, I googled something about the path of enlightenment and part of the result said ‘the oscillation between forgetting and remembering becomes a play (Lila - The Hindu word for divine play)’.
…Lila?
I just found it astounding that the name ‘Lola’ came to me as this playful name, and it sounds kinda like Lila, which I’ve not come across until today.
Look, it excited me and I came to show you all, ok? 😂
