Your task is not to seek for love

[thoreau]

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. - Rumi

I spent the evening sketching out a stained glass window for an art project (not pictured) and listening to LangLang play piano.

I like the image of our soul as a stained glass window - through which our emotions shine through.... bright warm light of different hues changing the scene.

When I was a kid - a traveling show would come through every holiday season called "chalk talk." Oh how christian it was - she'd tell the story of christmas - blahblahjesusblahmaryblahblah - but all of us waiting for the end - when she'd turn the lights off - and shine the different hues of of black light on the birth of jesus - and it'd go all velvet elvis painting on us. and we'd all oooh and ahhh.

Sometimes I feel like how we paint the life we're experiencing - is just like chalk talk. blahblahjobblahdatingblahblahljblah. LOL

the difference is the hue of light we choose to see it in - sometimes rose coloured glasses do the shading for us - other times the clarity is so in your face it is inescapable.
