Art and healing and symbolism
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……
