giving and dreams

giving and dreams

Most people are stingy about their lives. they only give their best when they are getting something in return. Whether it is monetary compensation or emotional pay off. But the best way to give is with no strings attached, except joy.
The ironic thing is when you give like that, expecting nothing in return, you get something far greater.
What you do get is freedom.

Last night I had an idea about giving something away that only I can give. Only we can give our dreams away. Dreams are just thoughts and vapors that appear whenever they want. But only we can make them happen and change from a fleeting thought to a tangible thing.

We only can share them when they change from a drifting thought and speak about them and act on them.
The dream I had last night will play out to be a beautiful reality that everyone can enjoy.

About the Author

I am a Northwest artist who is fascinated by faces and people. I work with a brush drawing of a face or human figure. Then I apply ink, paint and gel in various layers to create rich colors and textures. Along the way my images are painted, scrubbed, rinsed off, then ink and paint are reapplied until the final image is finally revealed. The process of discovering who the figures will become keeps me "intrigued and absorbed."
