ourselves on canvas

there was something incredibly beautiful about seeing the ikon co:ordinates exhibition for the first time... professional artists mingling on the wall with those who'd never tried anything like this before... a daring and a egalitarianism... all these pieces somehow speaking together...

...been thinking 'bout creativity... and what it is that allows us to tap into that raw channel of open expression of what really matters... of how it is we get past our rational selves and just say it how it is for us...

i've got no insight... just letting it all float about and feel gratitudinal (man! there's a word i haven't used in a whiles) for the opportunity to express... and that for me it's neither process or product that are primary, but message, or perhaps voice... be it with a pen or a brush or a victorian printing press...

i'm drawn again and again to the art of speaking what we feel...

it feels like flourishing and it's a joy to see others doing it in their own ways...

we've all got stories to tell... and i guess i'm surrounded by folks all wanting to let those stories all out...

praise the something-like-nothing that i feel moving beneath it all...maybe it's just love and the sense of collective becoming expressive community...

hmmm, whatever, it's all somehow very cool in the best way possible...

LB, x
