You state you don't need a belief system, but I think you do, as to me, you already have one. The statement that you stay open to the divine impulse moving through you is your belief system. Enjoying being a "newbie" to The Touchonian.
Lynn, you inspired me to deeply consider that phrase related to belief systems. That is a big can of worms once you start thinking about it. So, based on you observation I decided to rephrase that paragraph and leave the can of worms off to the side since it wasn't really part of the point. Thanks for that! And welcome to this community and hope to hear more from you.
I don't depend on my art to finance me, yet I do spend quite a bit of money on the junque to make it. Emotionally and spiritually work together for me and aren't really separated. Creating art is something that is entwined within who/what I am and pretty much permeates my waking and sleeping life and not always consciously.......it's just THERE on a subconscious level always. Loved this essay. Thank you.
Thank Annette! I'm still coming out of winter and didn't notice at first that it is spring already! I have had my head buried in trying to figure out fictional storytelling for the last 3 months and have been a naughty boy in the studio. I am in some sort of transition. So I have been spending a lot of time sitting and wondering and doing a lot of walking.
I so respect the timing of things.......and I think that a lot of that timing is beyond mine but bigger than me......God, The Universe, Higher Power......whatever one calls it, timing of things happening is so meaningful so I pay attention to it. It'll be interesting to see what develops from the timing that's guiding you!
Well said! I too have learned these lessons the long way, well, still learning.

I am not going to say you’re wrong! Haha.
