Have been doing some renos on my bathroom and have found the painting to be a passion for me. Whilst it may not be like painting a picture it does give me a creative fulfillment. Must have been reaching my subconscious as in the middle of the morning the following line came to me. We paint what we see and clean our brushes with what we feel. I wrote this down in my bedside journal and didn’t look at it again until I woke up.

This set of words is very powerful for me. I believe it describes how many of us accept the surface level as gospel and throw away what we are feeling at a deeper level. However I believe that the physical world we accept is far removed from the existence our hearts desire. As such we carry emotions that are a reflection of the conflict between our hearts and minds.

However most of us push our emotions out of mind. We tend to judge emotions as weak and live for appearances. In doing this we are shutting ourselves off from our creative home. We are living from an intellect that judges on the surface and reacts to it’s environment. So whilst we live from this level we will continually keep painting what is already in existence. The more we do this the more we convince ourselves that what we are creating or really recreating is real and gospel.

However if we trusted ourselves more we could stop the mad rush and listen to our emotions. To give our emotions a hearing rather than accepting the material as real. If we keep washing our emotions down the sink we are not only losing precious information but are in danger of blocking our drains. Human nature has in my opinion always been way off perfect. If we want to cease the recreation of violence, greed and seperation we could do far worse than place our faith in what lies beneath the surface that what most of us robotically pedestall.
