The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you could picture your intuition as a person, what would he or she look like? If you sat down together for dinner, what is the first thing he or she would tell you?"
This is a powerful request....
As soon as I read the brief
I burst into tears...
and then by coincidence...
and how utterly perfect
did I pull up this blog post
which I had completely forgotten
that I had ever written...
http://siandesign.blogspot.com/2009/06/those-who-have-inspired-me.html
that which depicts one person who "moved" my soul
into an essential point from which to "rise"
He is an artist, designer, restauranteur from Calgary
with whom I developed a friendship and a "secret" and abiding
love life....
It was not,however, realized in "real" terms
but the prowess by which this
artist created....
so inspired and so moved my soul
and its expression
into form, color, music, movement, enchantment,
and rapture...
that all days forward of our meeting
were explosive creativity ...
realized.
I was never to be the same.
It was not ever to be "about" him as a lover or partner,
as that kind of exchange never found fruition....
yet,
I am not the same for the experience of knowing him....
I became More...
I became what I was intended here to be.
I fell deeply into love...
and into the expression of it, thereof...
through art as a painter, designer, photographer...
and many, many
forms....
I realized myself...
and my "muse" was my catalyst.
In him I saw myself
and it was
acknowledged ...
We...
are kindred spirits...
To think of him now...
brings tears to my eyes....
Joy to my soul...
and rapture to my expression....
and longing for that which is known
so purely in and of the heart.
That which is known so essentially to the soul...
and that which we allow to rest, sleep, lay dormant....
while thinking what we are doing
IS what is important....
and from this view
that effort
simply is
trite
and a most shallow attempt
at being human.
In this moment the well pool deepens
and is refreshing.
It is a reminder.
It is a memory
of what has always been
and will forever forever be
the quintessential core of truth,
and cannot be conveyed in words...
or in a glance....
but to the bottom of the toes is
known....
now and forever.
in this life, present,
past and future....
infinite, and oh so intimate.
