"THE WHITE MOTH" SAMYAK YAMAUCHI
Reality:   I think I slipped into a different world six weeks ago.  It's a world of clarity and truth - a world of incredible beauty, and also a world of horror and heartbreak, and the most bizarro behaviors and beliefs.  Maybe it's the same world, but I'm experiencing it differently than I did before.

Words: I'm having trouble sharing my art, writing about it and promoting it in this world because many of the words I hear and see are so empty.  At the same time, some words are astoundingly deep and meaningful to me.  

Goals: It's weird because suddenly, I have no goals for myself as a painter, or for my paintings.  And even stranger, I have no desire to have any goals.   I'm just painting and trusting that there will be a reason and place for what I make. 


Trust:  I wrote a newsletter. I'm writing this blog.  I'm keeping my commitments to shows, galleries and other art-related work.  I'm painting most days.  Nothing has changed, but it feels like everything has changed. 

It was hard to write this blog, but here are some good words:

                        "Transformation, heading for the light of something closer to the heart."
