I suspect you're tuned to a higher channel; I haven't been able to fine-tune and receive it yet. Your paintings and writing make me feel lighter and at peace. It's a treasure; I read it and try to be in step--I like the option of just "being."<br /><br /><br />Indigomar, thank you. When I first saw your landscapes with colored trees I thought I recognized them. I believe they look like the beautiful colored lights I sometimes see (they always move offstage to the right).

Past life, maybe--that might explain my childhood fear of crossing bridges (I would crouch under the dashboard). My dad didn't help; he'd slow the car at the top of the hill, put it into neutral, and we'd plummet down and across the bridge--as he laughed and said "Whee."

I definitely think in images; I can never explain anything without drawing it (a problem when talking on the phone). I like the slide shows.<br /><br /><br />Celeste, you don't need this channel--you paint the excitement and beauty in everything around you. Dream journals are interesting; I've even tried programming my dreams--fun. I'm glad people are seeing determination and power in this; I felt she was simply stuck--no place to go but down.

I like your explanation of how you get visions. I have never experienced that in waking life. When I was younger I had beautiful interesting night time dreams. I would write them out in the morning. They were often plot type dreams that I enjoyed. I don't get that "channel" anymore, though I used to think it would be interesting to look at my dream journals from those days and "illustrate" what was in them.<br />I see resolve in your image, determination and danger.
