what remains?

there is something quite remarkable that starts happening over time ... it is the ability to start recognising what has remained as a constant presence within artistic practice. perhaps there are artists that just 'know', but my trajectory has been a more unusual one i believe. certainly a longer and more detoured route, no doubt, but one that i have followed intuitively for thirty years. there are times when i feel that i have little to show for this 'time', but i am starting to understand that there is a significant shift up ahead. it's coming towards me, and i am, finally, ready for it!

how am i recognising this? firstly, through the continuous pull towards three beings: Earth as Maternal healer, collaboration as exchanging change-maker and gesture as deep-listening.

this, for me, equates to empathy.

and through the social lens of historical colonisation, these beings map my way forward as i work towards contributing towards social healing.

in some strange way, as this gets clearer, i am sensing that i have always been led towards this place. .. everyone i have ever met, everything i have ever done, studied or worked at, is right Now. it's all suddenly simplified, opening up into dimensions that i can only imagine will surprise me! this infuses me with deep gratitude, humility and a new-found peace that i have not known before. taking this pic this morning, it is visible to me ... can you feel it also?

and living here, under the stars in stillness, Knowing speaks of rata fela ... only love.

only love remains

always

infinitely
