I am artist, poet, musician, writer. I discovered the piano in 1960 and have been playing since. I never became professionally trained but have been self-taught.With what pretentions and delusions do we view ourselves? Does one really see oneself as others do? Does it have any proximity to how others see us? I may perceive my identity as mostly wrapped up with what I do, ie: as a massage therapist, as a job, to pay the bills, to be of service.
I also may perceive myself as an artist, musician, with all its creative individual and collective consciousnesses which make it up.
I may be the faithful, dutiful, responsible husband which I am to my wife.
I may also be the, sometimes wise, sometimes foolish, person who attempts to give advice to friends and family, without knowing when or how those seeds will mature. Its interesting that I wrote the song" My spirit journey" and in that song talk about 'what kind of seed do I want to be'. Because then, I fell upon a book "Understanding our Mind", by Thich Nhat Hanh, a celebrated Zen Master, wherein the main focus is 'planting and harvesting seeds within us which are wholesome'. (We share the same birthday). It's then that I realized that I am transforming my future by transforming the seeds which make up my 'store consciousness'.
Although I live in the present I am pushed forward by my past actions and drawn forward by my desires. I am libra, balance, lover of numbers and Tarot. I am an 11 birthpath born on the 11th of October. My animal totem is butterfly, my animal spirit helpers are the 'Eagle' and the "white bear". Musically there is an infinity within my creativity and an unknown in its structure.
I am artist and love creating that which is ready to be harnessed. I am magician and transform my nature and that of others who seek me for healing. I am a healing arts practitioner, physical and spiritual, with touch and without.
I am energy travelling within this body until I shed its mortal coil and wander off to some other domain to continue this journey.I am a survivor. From the unknown into the unknown, from distance and time and space forgotten and yet remembered.
Namaste
