This weekend I had the most amazing time with one of my newly found favorite artists of all times. Her name is Brooke Shaden and she’s just about the age of my youngest daughter and, just like my daughter, she freed my spirit, she opened up my mind and she showed me parts of myself that, previously I only knew about in my dreams. This is true. In my dreams, I can fly. Not just once or twice have I had flying dreams. I can’t count the number of times I can fly in my dreams. Some times I fly to escape, though not as often as I wish. More often I fly to explore. I’ve explored large bodies of water in what was supposed to be Rome and some other cities in Italy that I’ve never seen before. I’ve viewed huge museums of art from the glass-covered, metal-boned ceilings. I’ve taken my daughters with me and shown them how to fly – they especially enjoyed the museum and the trip to Italy. I’ve dreamed about visiting stores that were filled to the brim with the most exquisite shoes and decorative items, flying about from room to room amazed at the creativity only to wake up and realize that all that creativity lived inside of me!
It’s a wonderful feeling to wake up and realize that your mind is a treasure house. But what an amazing feeling it is to be able to put some of those precious ideas into a tangible piece of art that you can actually share with others.
Well, Brooke, you’ve done it and, thankfully, I will never be the same! Check out Brooke’s absolutely exquisite images here. (The girl has more friends on Flicker than there are residents of Malibu!) And here is what I did this week-end!
I am so excited about this, I could…. well….fly!
