Constellations of lucky stars
Shooting stars cover our path here at Auspicious Projects where we add stardust to the watering can for the pansies, mint and moss on the patio garden. Lately, we've aligned with this ascendant maxim: Lux Desideratis Universitatis (Light is the desire of the universe).
What to do with all this... all this... lightening-ness?
In light of my Creative Conspiracy Theory, I feel that life is one big art project and everyone is an artist. This has nothing to do with a still life and has everything to do with the lines, shapes and textures on the map of your reality as you body forth on this spinning planet. It's about the fullest expression of yourself that knows no limits, ties or bounds. You are a (holy) body of work: What will you bring into the world?
For me, this question never fades from my sky and feels doubly immenent and immense as I chart through transitions and transformations -- a process that is at once rad and gruelling. (It's like having a pet dragon.) But, my breath beckons my patience to stay for a while, and I feel the future calling me into it, so I await the unanticipated discoveries just beyond the horizon.
Meanwhile, stellar things have been blowing up the creative inferno:
I've been exercising my healthy narcissism by revelling in the new look of auspiciousprojects.com where the site got a much needed sprucing up earlier this month.
I launched the Manifest Sessions to bring ideas to life. Join us for a special 3-series manifest mapping workshop and evening Manifest Express sessions this May and June at Studio Monika in Downtown Louisville. Each series and session is open to only three lucky stars making for an intimate creative experience using the modality of collage. Got a date with a dream? Reserve your seat and get ready to transform into your dreamiest experience...
Love.Life.Art.Work. is not just my interpersonal philosophy of creative beingness, it's also a blog-to-be. More on that mid-May.
Over in the knit-wit department, the felted bags are back by popular and passerby demand under the label: All Felt Up by ali. Check out the latest at Etsy, and visit www.allfeltupbyali.com for any new developments. I'm currently taking custom orders for July 2010.
Over at The Kissing Lessons, posts are aflutter. Most noteworthy: an interview with the author and 20 questions to ask on your next date...
Horse Sensei is back in from the pasture. I have been revisiting notes from the Master's thesis, where I've been waxing poetic on the art of horsemanship and interspecies philosophies of beingness.
I got a new twitter handle that's easier to spell and a subtle reminder to savor the sweetness of life: @manifestcookies
