They have guns, but you have wings amongst many many other things. You can teleport to heaven. Why don't you? Why should a spiritually superior angel associate with miscreants? There are evil ones on the prowl. They have bad karma. Be the karma police and report to you divine one. Maybe they'll get hit by a tsunami. In the meantime, ask for some angelic surgeons to work on your hands. They won't mind. (Nothing wrong with help from other artists).<br /><br />I have been suffering from schizophrenia, but I am well respected in my community and liked by many. I got personality and pizazz. Study Jung and while you're at it read Joseph Campbell. The fact that you have this illness gives you a chance to expand your mind and explore territories others would only dream of exploring. People will find you interesting with your different points of view. You just have to learn to be more confident and express your ideas more effectively, but it can be done.KimberlyKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09484959163026661596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795191973728869942.post-91734502595769433802011-11-17T17:39:19.420-08:002011-11-17T17:39:19.420-08:00I don't have any training as an artist, but I ...I don't have any training as an artist, but I have developed my own eye for art. I can generally now look at "great" pieces of art, modern or classical, and I get a sense of why they are considered that way. Something strikes you. I look at this current work, and I don't think this quite has it. But... a big BUT... I think you are close to finding it. Like I said, I'm not an artist, and you, in trying to find the direction, may go the wrong way, but I think you're almost there. Finding a means by which to strike the viewer, and summon a piece of his soul in some new fashion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
