"Opening Up"....ART, HEART AND SOUL.......No. 20......Meditative Wisdom Through Sustainable Art!!!
OPENING UP
Open a Heart - Open a Mind
Most of us have been conditioned away from being open and vulnerable.
It takes a lot of courage to let others see the realness within.
Adults would do well to take lessons about openness from our young children.
Have you noticed that they tell it like it is, with no judgment and no agenda?
Hence the saying "Out of the mouths of babes"!
It isn't until we show them the way of fear and shame,
right and wrong,
good and bad,
that they shut down and begin to change the way they innocently engage the world.
And then they spend the rest of their lives either trying to hide,
or trying to be real!
I created this soul card with old magazines on recycled matte board.

A beautiful reminder! It is sad that we often have to re-learn that simply being ourselves is the best way to navigate life... something we already knew when we were little.
Bright Blessings to you!
Yes, it's hard to really remember how we used to be, as most of us are so far from it after all these years of indoctrination. Thanks for tuning into my post and for adding your valuable comment. Great to have you here. Bright light and blessings to you too, @whitelightxpress.
I like this art and also the recycle idea💜
There is always a great idea, still it's hard, to be true to yourself. I guess it's not always so pleasant to listen if it needs us to change. Still I believe in being real and being true to ourselves.
I would agree that being ourselves and being real is ideal. Most of us get lost in the abyss of the "normal" life of security, protection, saving face and being nice. Many of us don't even remember what it was like to be truly honest with ourselves and others, but gratefully we have the opportunity everyday to go on discovering ourselves some more.
I really appreciate your comment @kerlund. I also appreciate your appreciation of my art and the repurposing of materials. It's great to have you here.
