the fullness of giving way



giving way to the process
i pass through layer after layer 
of experience.

not knowing the outcome
allowing the not knowing
being the not knowing

i let go 
to the color and shape that has a will of its own
every moment.

this is the first painting i followed through with "on my own."
my classes with Barbara Kaufman are completed for the time being
and i lean into the wealth of gifts received in my time shared with her.

as i learned
in her company
 to listen to my own inner voice
feeling the questions
meeting the conflict that arises within
discovering its innate creative tension
as life itself,
 i give way to the fullness that always waits to be expressed.

with a full heart i continue to paint and live, 
supported without a doubt by this widely shared gift 
of meeting life through process painting.

jai ma!
