For the Journey ~ Stage #1

Today marks a pivotal point, the first day of a journey.
Yesterday I thought about how I would document this journey my daughter and I are embarking on.
I knew it had to be something significant, a vehicle if you like to carry us both through this emotional landscape...something to help us go within, reach deep into our inner resources to search for the strength we both need to see it through...

The Journey starts here ~>

I don't know how long the journey will take, days or even weeks I'm not sure but as I said yesterday this journey is going to be big so I needed something big to document it and contain it...


I decided on a paper support, (support - something an artist uses to paint on) must be at least 4 feet wide and preferably 6 feet long, expansive enough to contain the many (hopefully) rich details this journey will afford! As with any journey though, the planning and preparation was not without some head scratching, I only had thick lining paper to use for the documentation plus it was not going to be wide enough without joining it, which in itself posed a problem as I noted ~>


I needed to get going there and then! So once the method of attachment became clear I proceeded to create the support making notes on it as I began to intuit the route of our journey, it felt a bit like I was both making and consulting a road map!

A road map with signs about what we could experience from this inner heart journey...



I have a rough outline of the terrain and where this journey will lead but the details I'm not sure about,
I pretty much have a good idea of what the destination will look like because I have been to a similar place before!

I do hope you will join us and give us your support, I will add any comments or ideas you make to the journey document on reaching our destination.....thank you.

Keep a watch out for stage 2 of the journey... and if you are brave enough you might like to follow and make a similar one yourself, it is a bit like a mystery tour!

i adore your intuitive process... the words, the stitching of paper.

we are pieces, and yet whole.
tentative perseverance.

i would scribble-draw on mine - angry zigzags, flowing lines of sadness, circles of hope....

an inspirational process.

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese
