The Seer

Years back when I ran an Art Therapy studio, I would tell suffering artists who came in looking for answerers “Go to the wall “there large pieces of Newsprint paper hung waiting blank and beige and without opinions.

I’d say to the artist- patient, “Now just stand there a bit, relax, close your eyes, forget what you thought you know or don’t know or want from the paint or the chalk or me. Just let go”.

Magically the Seer will notice you are willing and appear, a quiet presence will take over this holy process of Revelation. The chalk or brush will tell you when it wants to be touched and held, it might even whisper” try using the other hand, the one you don’t usually use it has gifts to give you, riddles and mystery’s and dark knots too that are begging to be unraveled and freed.”

Now the drawing is drawing you, as it should be.

This drawing is one of mine, it is speaking to me about the feelings of time passing too quickly or too slowly, the pressures of living in this dimension of suffering, a brain full of information, and Noise. Arrows are flying about in all directions pointing to the many diversions that come and go in a day. Knots and tangles of confusion form, clouding one’s original clarity. Penetrating and bloodshot eyes lookout searching. The forehead tattooed with a Bindi speaks “Remember the True Purpose of your Life is to unravel all confusions and misunderstandings and remain dedicated towards the achievement of the Supreme goal of Self-realization”
