Female and Male

A couple of months or so I found myself thinking and reflecting about the eastern philosophies and their concept of yin (feminine/receptive) and yang (masculine/active).They have said that everything in the universe is made up of these two forces (everything includes each of us)...

Yes, I believe that we all have male and female energies within us, but somehow we have lost these parts of ourselves... Perhaps one of the most difficult task would be to know how to reclaim this lost... Maybe if we would know how to develop these energies fully, we could live our lifes in total bliss.

Lets don't forget that our female aspect is our intuitive self, our deepest and wisest part. One must learn to listen to her carefully to be directed in the right direcction at all times. The male aspect is action, our hability to do things...

Just imaging for a moment the total unison, the total union of these two energies, working together within ourselves.. As they say, this process must certainly be the basis of all creation... Mmmmmm... The thought is just so powerful... It really energise me, like it did at that moment in time, when this painting was created...




Yes, most of my paintings are created with the energy flowing from within.., its like being 'in the zone'... all of the sudden, time does not exists... This, to me, it is a clear example of these two energies working in harmony, listening one another.  Wouldn't you agree that female intuition together with the male action equals creativity?.

Oh! just before I say good night, and for those of you who have asked, you can find my work for sell in Etsy, just click on this link http://www.etsy.com/shop/GEmbid?ref=search_shop_redirect

Thank you so much for reading.

Vanishing

Yes my readers, I keep on writing because I am greatful to you all for continuing reading these words that perhaps don't make any sence most of the time, specially lately... Words that come from within rolling one after another, like the waves on the sea...

Vanishing... mmmm.... nice word... To pass out of sight, disappear, become invisible...  Ohh! how many times have we all felt this way?  When things go wrong, when happiness plays 'hide and seek', when the love you once had begins to fade.. 


Life keeps presenting me with all these occasions to put in practise the learning gained on my personal development's journey and, I must admit that, specially since Saul was borned, I have done just that... Certainly, I have been focusing a lot in my breathing, putting a lot of attention in creating a sacred space within, which brings an incrediable calm and soothing effect in my entired being... 

A few years ago I painted this acrylic on canvas (called 'Female Vanishing') for the only exhibition I have ever had, and because I am incapable of selling my work, I still have this original somewhere at home...

I believe there is room for everyone, so I must be lacking on something to get out there and sell my work... Well, lets don't forget that this is the reason that got me started on blogging... :-) ... :-)

Sharing my thoughts, fellings and, of course, sharing my art with you, has alreay been worth it... Enjoy the painting... Any thoughts, please feel free to comment...

A blank page

The title says it all.. and that is exatcly how I feel... 'a blank page' a every sense of the sentence...

Yesterday, I came back from holidays and instead of feeling fresh and rested I am feel totally exhusted. Last night Saul, my baby, fall sleep at 7pm, after having been 10 and 11.30pm the earliest he would surrender every night, while being in Spain... I think Saul knew he could now rest from all the exictment and 'marchita' he had during the holidays, he was not missing much now, and his audience was reduced to 'mama' and 'papa', so he could surrender peacefully...jejejejeje..

When you think that I was looking forward to have some time to paint and get inspired with my sorroundings... Instead, I was 'in blank' most of the time, as my energy was absorved by all the members of the family who were constantly visiting us... Bless them, they are all so loving and caring... Yes, I know that this is the type of holidays I choose to have once a year, but after being  27 years away from the tradition (yes, I am working and living in London since 1985), some years I find this family gathering very intense.... The important think is that it was all worth it, and my mother enjoyed enormously and had a wonderful 85 birthday....  juuupiiiiiii!!!!!

You must forgive me but as much as I wish to talk to you and share some inspirational thoughts with you, I just haven't got the energy and the words...

I have also worked today and it has been a very long day.

Once again, thank you very much to all of you for reading. I will talk to you soon.

LETS DON'T FORGET TO KEEP GIVING OURSELVES LICENCE TO CREATE, beacuse WE ARE WORTH IT...
