So I'm passing something in my life, a moment of grief for no apparent reason...
we have been taught or generally speaking conditioned that everything always have to be ok.
its even in the automatic conversation we always have - how's everything, fine.
but what if we shed this mask of false joy and making it appear that all's well?
what if we let emotions hold the wheel? what if instead of communicating we allow ourselves to shut down?
these are all good questions and I often find that there is never sufficient space to grow truly, in our lives we must be active, produce, earn, conquer...
but in a secluded shell, an inner fragmented part of me yearns to grow and to open up and to create at least for myself an authentic system perhaps a map that explores this shadow world, sure walking the bright sunny path is easy, but doing the damaged self road is less popular and more risky
So I'm not saying that pain or sorrow must be the driving force behind our art, or tarot for that matter
I'm trying to reflect and allow this creative space to have effect, in the belief tat from this dark space truly a glorious force can flourish forward a real joy the deepest kind can only arise once we allow our soul to be submerged then it can float, that is such a simple and easy truth I hope to succeed in sharing.
