Well this is has been a very interesting year, more downs than ups. I never thought I would struggle so badly with turning 30. I do acknowledge this change has been gradual finally. I'm feeling ready to be 31 next friday! I am actually excited, I think this will be the year things come together for me and I finally have a mature plan for the fall and next winter.
I wrote my art history final, it's strange because I know I will finally finish my degree, it feels like this is has been a long time in the making for several years I believed it would never happen. I thank the dean of arts for sending me that nasty letter last August, he gave me the but kick I needed. I loved the art history class. I was so deeply moved by the artists and many of the paintings. I was an enjoyable way to spend part of the summer. My brain still felt like it was on a visual vacation. I feel in love with education again. I felt the same way about going to class as I did ten years ago at Langara. JMW Turner's Slave Ship is a visual masterpiece. I love the burst of sunset, it's so sublime and beautiful yet haunting because under the painting the slaves are drowning. But Monk by the Sea (Friedrich) gives me hope, as the monk looks so peaceful looking at the ocean. It makes me think of when I meditate by the ledge grounds in the sun. So much bliss to be felt. My soul and heart right now are bursting with peace and bliss, it has been almost a year since I felt this way. Tonight I can say I am very blessed. I felt like from the first class Michelangelo's rondo's has saved me from my dull office job and allowed me to escape into visual bliss. Studying Michelangelo has given me the courage and freedom to open my heart to possibilities.
