Orange is the Marrow...Feeding the Fire in the BONES...
Feeding the Beautiful Bronze Skin...
That BREATHES... if you will
BREATHES! If you will
Breathes if you will ...
... but release the collar around my neck..
Someone recently asked a beautiful question...
Why work with art?
Engaging with the act of making, being in the process of bringing forth through color, voice, movement or embodied play... Ohhh, just the INVITATION to BE in creativity somehow taps the living stream of Beauty within!
All humanity is formed by Beauty, from the beauty of the dust of the Earth, yes the beautiful dust, and we are created, able to Form BEAUTY as well. We are Living Artistry!
Engaging women and children in Nepal in their Identity as Beauty Makers engages everyone in the room in healing space and we all become better. We all live more fully into the experience of our beautiful selves. The space becomes safe for the ugly, the painful, the suffering to appear, the weeping to take place, the pain and the sorrow to be expressed. Somehow the truth of knowing, proclaiming and believing the experiences of victimization, embodied torture, physical usury, and enslavement and lamenting them is beautiful release because it is HONEST! Telling the TRUTH is ugly beauty. It is ugly because of the horrible blood stains humanity gives to one another, beautiful because we are naming human trafficking for what it is, and reclaiming the truth that all women, children and men are valuable, beautiful beings of dignity!
We all become more free to have our identities restored. We are beautiful women and children meant for good, formed to be beautiful Living Artistry and we can fight together against that which would try and destroy us!
We are! Beauty Becoming!
We Retrieve our Breath from under the BOOT of our enslavement!
The Orange of the Marrow
Feeds the FIRE in our Bones!
Feeds the Bronze, Brown, Black, Pink, Peach, EARTH RED SKIN
That WE may BREATH!!!!
Freely.
