Fire of my Past

October 23, 2010

I get a message from my daughter, something tragic has happened, the silver hanger shed has burnt down, and there was nothing salvageable. I had to stop for a second to realize what has just happened. Everything that was markers of my past from my first apartment, my beginning pieces of art that I created, and everything back to when I was born, is now ashes blowing in the wind.

 

More than 30 years of history has been changed in one day. What use to be bins that sat on storage racks filled with art work, photography from photo shoots, art installations are now replaced with crocked burnt railings.

 

I felt as if this is a devastating moment, but it was time to do something to replace the sadness. I realized that this moment in time, was the end of all that kept me to a past filled with sorrow, depression that outweighed the positive. I was not bound to these things, but now I can choose to keep my memories that helped me shape who I am today, and real the value of cherishing them.

 

This is my change, brought by fire. I will stand up and build positive memories that will outweigh the sadness. I will share them with others so they too can have positive things to cherish. It is time to build for the future, and be thankful for the past.

 

Embrace

I miss his loving embrace...
I miss how his energy would warm me up, deep down to my soul.
I miss his gentle touch
I miss his passion
I miss every moment, every movement, and ever breath
I miss his embrace

 

The Push

We sometimes have to fight ourselves…

It is a personal push to become who we truly are because of what we were told by outside forces saying who we should be.

New Art Work – In Flight

We are in flight to get somewhere some how.

Another 9/11

What could bring back fear … another 9/11 attack with a twist. I had a dream where I walked in a city where old brick buildings were mixed with new buildings like Washington DC, or London. The sun was bright, seemed almost brighter than normal. I had taught a class where I told art students the way to handle themselves at artist, but now the day was over. I walked along the banking district past a café, where people sat outside, and then an explosion happened in front of me. I fell to the ground and was shocked by what was going on. I notice a cut on my finger, from a piece of glass, but I didn’t give much thought.

 

I got up and turned around to see a helicopter crash into a building causing another explosion. I was scared but I knew right now is time to find a place safe. I proceeded down the street where there was a park, and then right in front of me another helicopter turned the corner and was proceeding to crash, but this one was different. The helicopter stopped and did something as if it was bowing to me. “Chaos”, I whispered to myself. I knew it was the creature I created earlier out to do what it does best. After the bow the helicopter began to go down and crashed on the sidewalk where people were. I ran into the park and through the baseball field to the other side, screaming for people to follow me if they wanted to live. Then like that I woke up, with a cut on my finger, where it looks like a piece of glass had cut me, but there was nothing sharp around that would have caused that kind of damage.
