RECLAIM/RECYCLE 6

A few more little touches to this painting, but I dont think they show up in the photograph. The important thing here is that I know they are there and I feel better for putting them in. Being in touch with ones feelings is so important otherwise we cheat ourselves, but even more important is responding positively to those feelings.

Today I became proactive. I organised myself a car at the cab firm so that I can at least get some cashflow going before I become a pauper. With flying up to Edinburgh next weekend for the festival and the tattoo I badly needed cash. So that is sorted out.

I then pondered on whether one should put out the desire for change to the universe and leave it to it, which seems sort of negligent to me, or to inform the universe of what you want and to work in harmony with it. In other words, take some responsibility for attaining those desires. So, instead of waiting for that phone call, I made that phone call and spoke to the person concerned. Now all is much clearer and Im going to observe a session of this wonderfully creative and spiritual and beneficial work that I want to do so much on Wednesday..........although he wont be there as he will be on holiday. He deserves a holiday. I deserve the chance to shine. So, there is a lesson there, dont just leave it to the universe, be proactive and share the responsibility.

In preparation for the above I have also today been busy forgiving those who I feel have let me down. Its a good thing to do. There is no point in harbouring bad energy about other people. It doesnt affect them, it only affects you as it returns multiplied. So today I have wiped the slate clean. From today I can start again............... and it feels so good.

Ive had one vote on the title for the Hastings show and it agreed with me so, unless there is a flood of other notions I will be calling the show "Truth and Other Myths". I think I have enough paintings for it now. I dont want to smother the walls with work, each piece needs to breathe, and I have told the universe that I WANT to sell each piece. It is my DESIRE to sell each piece. I have this notion that they are the seeds of the future and so they need to be sewn in order to produce more succesful plants. Navratri.

Its early so I may go out and celebrate this evening. In the meantime people, hold Love in your heart and share it without expectation, forgive those who you feel have let you down, and forgive yourself if you have let anyone else down. Remember that what you think, say and feel about others will come back to you twofold. Love all, hurt none.
