The Possibility of Transformation

I took a painting that did not feel right...did not make me happy...and i changed it. Like re-painting an image, I believe that we can change elements of ourselves and our lives... but similarly we need to dare to make the change and begin again - taking the old and trusting things can be improved, enhanced, made to feel better. This video shows how transformation is gradual - a trial and error - a playing with elements to see where things fit- push and pull - keeping going. It's tough though, accepting that transformation happens in small changes and subtle shifts that gradually take form and mutate into something new. Trusting that even when things don't feel like they're shifting, they are...slowly. And, perhaps the hardest lesson for me is accepting that even when it all seems done, a review of things shows us further areas for change and enhancement...new possibilities and new ways of doing and being
