The Beast

I'm working on a 3/D project right now that I'm really excited about and I'm documenting the process . . . so a work that is in progress.

I decided to work on the Sad face first so I could really flow with the piece and just let it happen. And I did and it did. It was spontaneous and fresh, exciting and fun.

And then while journaling . . . while journaling this morning and looking at the piece so far, it became quite obvious that she is no longer Sad, she has become The Beast.

How does one become The Beast? Slowly over several years her friends and family neglect Beauty. She then suffers from massive loneliness. Like an old dog scavenging the streets a dog everyone avoids and no one wants. Sitting in the shelter counting down the hours.

Old and useless, alone friends and family going on with their own busy lives, forgetting her and how lonely she must be. No one is reaching out, forgotten and cast aside. Many relate to this pain and grief and look away not wanting to really look at themselves.

Years later after many tests of love and letting go the beast has once again returned to love – this time with boundaries and familiar yet foreign love – allowing and encouraging beauty to blossom.

Beauty blossoming and living a life she always dreamed of.

A life dreamed of and so much more. A life where Beauty is well loved and nurtured for who she is. And encouraged to grow in the direction of her dreams. Beauty grows and thrives as an artist of the spirit. Love is an amazing healer and Beauty now lives with a very powerful love and healer.

Today I was able to work just a bit on beauty, life is in full gear today in my life and I will be taking a few days off to celebrate Love and Life.
