Spiraling from A to Z


Isa spotted this statue last weekend when we were looking for gifts for her Uncle's birthday. It made both of us laugh and sadly was in the garbage area. Of course truly where would it be. Today it was moved to a different location in the garbage area where there is a hint of plant life on a platformed surface. I think we were both happy to see someone else is getting enjoyment from this odd thing. Although with the right fixtures and paint (perhaps a bit of glitter and rhinestones) it could make for a lovely lamp.


I often speak about being at a crossroads or being caught in between one thing or another. I think this is where I find peace. I am learning a lot about myself during this time of exploration, and what I am learning to make peace with is that I am someone who needs many things in my life to feel balanced. I use to think that made me scattered and unusual and unable to complete things, but now I know it just makes me ME. Some people go from A to Z in a straight line. I tend to get there through mazes of spirals but the result is the same - the process is different. So if my Art Therapy professors were correct in their teachings I am on the right path. I was always taught to believe process is more important than result. 

I am enjoying the process.
