Art and healing and symbolism

Nut_geb


A friend of mine told me

that he makes symbols of his pathos...

and dedicates it to God.

Ummmm

He doesn’t do it that way,

he just makes a piece of art about his life,

about his pain, his stories,

and it becomes a symbol,

he says,

and then….

The art is so beautiful,

so beyond his story alone,

that he

Does a ceremony

and dedicates his art to God.  

The  ceremony itself is a symbol….

the process universal.....

It says, “can you trancend your moment of truth

and go into a place

where your moment is

much larger,

and it becomes

a symbol for everyone…. ?"

He says,

"making art for healing,

is abut becoming larger".

You get larger to fit

whatever you see or feel,

you get to be larger and then….

You are huge,

as huge as the night time sky,

You are HIM, you are HER

And it started

by only

making art……
