Description

An empirical fact about our lives is that we do not and cannot know what will happen a day or a moment in advance. The unsuspected awaits us at every turn and every breath. The future is a vast, perpetually generated mystery, and the more we live and know, the greater the mystery. A creative life is risky business. To follow your own course, not patterned on parents, peers or institutions, involves a delicate balance of tradition and personal freedom. While on some dimensions living a normal life, you are nevertheless a pioneer, venturing into new territory, breaking away from the molds and models that inhibit the heart's desire, creating life as it goes. Being, acting, creating in the moment without props and supports, without security, can be supreme play, and it can also be frightening, the very opposite of play. Stepping into the unknown can lead to delight, poetry, invention, humor, lifetime friendships, self-realization, and occasionally a great creative breakthrough. Stepping into the unknown can also lead to failure, disappointment, rejection, sickness, or death. In creative work we play undisguisedly with the fleetingness of our life, with some awareness of our own death. Listen to Mozart's later music ... you hear all its lightness, energy, transparency and good humor, yet you also hear the breath of ghosts blowing through it. Death and life came to be that close for him. It was the completeness and intensity with which both primal forces met and fused in him, and his freedom to play with those forces, that made Mozart the supreme artist he was. —Stephen Nachmanovitch
Hello, again! February nears and this is my first shared work of the year. This is also, curiously, the 250th work that I have posted to these galleries. An interesting journey this creative adventure has been; emotionally decorated by the warm illumination of your company and friendship. May we pause together to reflect at some future point when there are 500 visions upon these walls. I hope that the new year has been treating you well and that some manner of your realized dreams has been lifting your spirits as well as the corners of your smile. May your inspirations guide you to the realization of bright creative visions! I thank you for staying in touch these past weeks and months and checking in on my well being! Your attention is welcome and dearly regarded. With deep warmth and friendship, Terry If this work above is not filling your screen, do take a few moments to view it at full size. I assure, you shall find the vision quite enchanting. ;-)

Her eyes are hypnotic. Looking at it on a laptop and when I lean back the image fades into the background but the eyes remain. Wonderful work. I hope things have cleared up for the new year and we will see more of your work.
