"I think we're all born with this huge canvas
in front of us and the paintbrushes and the paint,
and we choose what to put on this canvas."
Louise Hay
A blank canvas can be just as intimidating as beginning a new relationship, career or adventure. The artist applies a base coat as a foundation, just as we dip our toe into the new situation to test the waters. Initial colors are chosen and we judge how much of ourselves we want to invest.
Layers of paint are dripped, thrown, and sponged upon the canvas before the unseen images appear. It is only with time that the gift emerges as art. We must be aware and alert as to not mute or muddy any color before its prime.
As the initial relationship or career or adventure ripen to full participation, the canvas has been well used. We are called to examine our desires, intentions, and level of commitment before we proceed. As the artist, our subconscious surfaces nudging us to proceed with the landscape or to begin to create a new scene.
