Creativity is the absence of a frame of mind

About Me

"Art is the demonstration that the ordinary is extraordinary""Tell me who you love and I will tell you who you are....""The miracle is this --the more we share, the more we have.""The only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." Everyday I TRY (..and slip...) to stay focused on the things that matters the most to me.....Being a typical LIBRA, life for me is a struggle finding BALANCE: being in love with someone without loosing your self, being helpful but not a pushover, being selfconfident without being too much of a bitch, being realistic without being bitter or loose faith ,having the ability to laugh at yourself but still take yourself seriously enough to listen to your inner voice,empathy not sympathy,enjoying the "good things" in life while trying to stay healthy.... My real job is in healthcare, but my passion is expressing myself through art. I feel connected to bruised people-not beacuse misery loves company but beacuse the buisness of human striving feels common to all of us....... For me creating art is the most powerful form of selfexpression and relaxation. It's my "braindrain" and meditation. When I paint time stands still and all is good.... I want to celebrate nature, love and the human body in any shape or form.I BELIEVE IN :the need of both good and evil,pain & pleasure,speaking your mind, karma,being true to yourself,the Godess, energy in all living things,taking care of each other and our planet,reincarnation and that LOVE IS THE GREATEST SOURCE OF ENERGY....and to love anything you first have to love yourself-all uglieness & crazyness included.Risk your very soul for love.......... I'm lucky to have my sister as my best FRIEND, the unconditional LOVE of a dog, a JAMES, SUNSHINE most of the year, good HEALTH, being a WOMAN and a FRESH start and ADVENTURE every waking moment... “ The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes.” ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- WEBSITE:www.corneliakarlstromer.com ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- .. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

PITTBULL POEM

Their love is like no other,their heart as pure as gold.Yet while going on a friendly walk,they're faced with stares of cold.They're so very close to human,in how they act and what they do,Unless you'...
