Often in this blog I have spoken of some if these thoughts or if I have it has been the a sentence or statement. As I often do not talk about the process or meaning behind my paintings. For I want each piece to touch you in they way it touches you not the way you think I want it to touch you. Oneness, many if you know that my childhood was adventurous to put it softly. I learned how to read at a very young age maybe 2. The first time I saw the light was at age 3. You may call it God or Allah which ever word gives you peace and understanding. Being raised by my grandparents and aunts and uncles from a young age I learned to occupy myself pretty well, some would say to well. At the age if four or five I’m not sure, time and I have always had a strange relationship. I learned about the minds eye and as my 60ish GP’s were not exactly ideal play mates loving yes but playmates no. I practiced oneness with everything I learned sight. The ability to see people and things for what they are at their core. First I started with grass and trees and bugs the things you’d except a guy of 4/5 to play with. Id travel to the core vibration of this essences an sit and feel and enjoy there company. I tried this with everything wood, doors, walls, tires it pretty funny actually if you can picture this 4,5,6,7,8 year old going around mind melding with everything. There is much I have skipped over for many reasons one the abuse and neglect, the wandering in the desert the shaman ect another day another thought. At eight I started to take Aikido and since most dojo don’t want to teach youngsters how to kill people they taught me the art if war. The spirituality of the universe and the flow of energy. Ah energy this I understood for I had spent years studying energy, I already new the grass and the wind, the earth and stars. Now I would learn the human and how to read its bio electrical signals the art of oneness within movement and the art of consumption how do we become one within a person and keep them from harming yourself and others? Thus the White Knight was born. Ok life on this rock is calling time to go do PT-OT.
Thanks for letting me talk about something I literally NEVER talk about.
Much love and light to all..
Namaste
