WELCOME to my new FORUM and CHAPTER II of my PPG-JOURNEY (717)
SELF EXPRESSION Preamble
Yesterday I spent the whole day working on an essay. For a number of technical reasons that I can barely fathom, which unfolded like a chain reaction, this work has been deleted. All real Artists are excentric. So, I thought foated into the mind. Does the universe hate me?
One moment later:Oh no, the universe loves me and is giving me the chance to bring an even better version to life. That is exactly how my motivation and attitude to life work.
Welcome to Chapter II of my 'PPG Book'
The first
part was focused on re-establishing my presence on the forum and making it clear that my motivation has shifted slightly. In the second part, I’d like to make
this shift more apparent. 'Creative-Self-Expression' is a truly wonderful field
that reaches right down to the roots of our existence. Some might feel it as callling ond others see it as a profession. We all 'using' it ... whether we are aware of it or not.
In ths forum I will also go a step further and like to talk about possible reasons, why we should not only focus on surviving. ART is not just about surviving and I believe, that without it our life is very poor. ART has very often a meaning that directly focus on 'What-is-goinig-on-in-the-World'. ART can bring light and new perspectives. True ART is never shallow. A beautiful photograph without an context is a good thing but not necessarily a Work-of-ART.
____________________________________________________________________A NEW DAY______
I really enjoy taking with you about it. There is something that makes us feel the 'same'. Nature does that. That is why I like to share this here.... Nature is the greatest ARTIST!
every time I am in nature it heals me, the sea heals me, the trees and their beautiful leaves coming out now during the spring, their branches touching each other when the wind blows, every day I cycle through the forest and then I see a hare, a pheasant, the buzzard looking for prey, while I sit on a bench the robin comes closer and the ants crawl around my shoe, I am happy because of the sounds of nature
Oh yes, Dame Fleur! Nature has self-organising power. It heals itself. You are lucky enough to still feel it. Most women do first and then lose the ability (sadly) in time. Forests and Water are very special and powerful indeed...
‘My’ little Village Folk have just come home from school, and as is so often the case, there was quite a racket. It’s the best time of the day… at least for me. It’s windy, so today I ‘just’ had a ride round the village on my bike. Snippets of conversation drifted my way and I found it quite amusing. Today, the topic was obviously death. One of the little bundles said: "...nooo, when you’re dead, you just keel over one day ... and then, nix, you’re just dead.... "
With gestures that even the best actors would struggle to pull off, we saw shoulders, arms and hands illustrating that there’s simply nothing you can do about it.... Right, nothing we can do about it.
QUESTION: Why do we, most of us, lose the ability later in life to express ourselves so simple yet beautifully?

Any parent who engages in genuine conversations with their miniature offspring can confirm: we do not.
A different matter is why people feel urged to apply variations to the “more direct than the Dutch” technique or consider eloquence to reside in riddles (guilty as charged).
