FEEL, FLEXIBLE. oil on canvas. 16” X 20”. 2018

In this moment of transition 

I find us seeking a better childhood, adulthood

Some mythical age in which we should “arrive” 

A place we feel has been promised, but not delivered 

That place is a construct of a very broken system 

It’s the fairytale of colonization 

It is designed to keep us trapped in trauma loops of destruction, pain, and unworthiness 

But WE are arriving to another state of being 

An understanding that linear age is logistics

The energy we need to fuel a better reality exists within us, all ways, always

This self needs to heal, it needs to be nurtured, nourished, and loved

Herein WE will understand, that WE are the people 

That WE deserve a better reality

That WE do not want to keep hurting ourselves and each other 

WE want food, shelter, safety, education, healthcare, play, work…ease

The astrology of the era is remarkable and defining 

WE were not meant to be thick skinned, but rather elastic

WE are stretching as we grow into our softer spaces and become more evolved beings

There is no “greater good” - there is only better for you and me

Be gentle, stay flexible, keep going…
