8×5″ Acrylic on Canvas, September 2013
We make contracts, all the time.
Written contracts are only the part of the story.
The iceberg of history is all the little promises, all the potential…
I promise you. You promise me. We agree.
Do not take words lightly. There are no jokes. There are no forgotten messages. Every word you say has weight, meaning, POWER. Words are charged with the energy of thought. The vital juice of eligibility. Words bind you to others. They keep you on this planet, until you complete your mission, which is only yours to fulfill.
No one can take away your purpose in life. YOU can give it away. You can spend countless hours watching cartoon character film stars performing senseless actions OR you can invest your time in a more worthy pursuit. Choice is one guarantee. Choice is always available. Invest wisely. Be true. Be you.
I know you want to think yourself free from deep commitments. (I always did, yet I always had these little chains connecting me to others.) There is nothing other than TRUTH and adjacent little lies that wither and crumble, under the slightest pressure revealing the little CORE stories, like sand before waves. The stories that cannot and will not be erased. The facts of who you really are, who your grandmother was. Who grandpa had sex with…
Who are YOU, really?
Who are you?
Who do you LOVE?
These are your truths. There is NO THING else.
Life is no thing other than a string of promises, some kept, some broken.
I’ve come to terms with the fact of being. I am and I’m grateful. All the LOVE I ever felt is there forever, like a reservoir full of clean water in a country town far away from pollution, far away from farmed lies. That magical place we … somehow… know intimately. A place beyond, before, without, outside petty rivalries and cheap competition, the place where only caring and LOVE exist..
I’ve grown into keeping my word. It took forty years before I became an adult. I’m lucky because I’m not going to be an old lady running around the planet thinking myself a sparkling little girl. I’m comfortable in with my age, my choices, and the life I’ve built.
I’ve been working toward maturity all my life. The events that brought me here are typical and unique. I am LIKE everybody, I promise you won’t find another pearl like me.
Warm regards,
Frau K
