I had been feeling somewhat depressed for roughly the last 36 hours, but I just looked through a few pages of my blog and felt better. It’s this big digital scrapbook of all the things that excite me, inspire me, and make me happy. I’m glad I’ve been collecting these images for so long.

Also, do you think it’s possible to be working on my artwork too much? I’ve been spending 7-14 hours a day working on some paintings and I think it’s creating a reality gap for me. But it feels (mostly) so wonderful.

I’ve been working on my heart chakra for the past four weeks and am generally experiencing an explosive, overpowering feeling of unconditional love and part of what has come up for me with that is that I want to express love and gratitude towards people more. So, I’m publicly declaring my love for these folks and their tumblrs. Lots of gratitude for what they post. Thank you!

Tonight I went to see the movie Crazy Wisdom about the founder of my university, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. I feel so inspired to live with an open heart, not hiding my tears or fears or things that I might be embarrassed about.

And I learned that Ram Dass was a teacher at my university in the 70’s, along with Allen Ginsburg and many other amazing people. I wish I could have been there in the 70’s! Highly recommend this movie, if you are able to see it.
