Where words fail, use Art

The artwork above, for me, reflects how I am currently feeling in my life.

When I look at it I see a person who seems to be intensely happy, reaching some sense of understanding, grasping something, having a realisation. An epiphany.

I see the sun shining down on them, letting then know that they have come to the right conclusion. Happy that they have found what they have been searching for... This artwork to me screams YES, I REALISE, I KNOW, I DID, I CONQUERED.

In some less dramatic way, I feel this is where I am currently at in my life. For me I have finally realised that all my experiences have me moving on a particular path - and last night I kind of realised what that path was with an intense certainty. Small things, little things, in every experience are giving me something that is making the bigger picture become less hazy.

For instance, yesterday my boss asked me to research some work for his masters.... ON THE VERY TOPIC I WANT TO WRITE A THESIS, WANT TO WRITE A BOOK, WANT TO START AN ORGANISATION. So right now, I am in the situation where I am actually getting paid, and legitimately researching stuff that is DIRECTLY relatable to my future goals, and in doing this I am realising what my next steps need to be...

Ahhh it is actually really hard to describe how I am currently feeling - the best I can do, is relate it to a book that I have been told to read. A book that from my understanding has a similar sentiment expressed. It's called the Celestine Prophecies. Apparently (I am still yet to read it) it is about how different events in your life actually lead you to different points but most people are not conscious to those interlinks, those connections.

I guess I feel like I am becoming much more conscious to the random events and experiences in my life, which appear to me less and less random.... possibly connected?

I kinda thought it was a man waving his fist at the sun, perhaps in rage. I know how that feels, especially when hungover.

I actually thought the guy in the picture was trying to shield his face from the overwhelming and intense power and pressure of the sun, desperate for some relief.

The joy or art hey, many different ways to interpret the same thing.

So, you're about to become a Celestine reader hey? I think it will have the effect you intend, especially since you will be thinking of that theme as you read it. 6 years after reading the book myself, one thing that has resulted is that coincidences don't surprise me anymore. When one happens I just deeply smile at life, expect things like this to happen, and enjoy it.
