Tonight I need a virtual shoulder to cry on...

Ha Ha Ha!! Yes, I do totally get what you mean really. And that right there is what it is all about! This is why I am a hippie.
Also,....yes,...I'm afraid I DO think you're a mad!! Don't worry though, I won't tell anyone. Shhhhh!!! Lol!!


(Got to go for a bit, baba Abayomi Phoenix is pulling at me by my hair to be played with!! Also need to bath him ready for bed too, but I WILL be back on soon, tonight. Promise.
You all really are a real good bunch)

 

Goddess Moon,

What's in a name..sounds better then Stasia..loveley
The text of Celine Dion..very touching..specially in your case...
I'm sure you and your little boy...and also the one you lost..
will put a mark in our minds..and yes..STASIA..I'm mad...
very mad..about everything what's hidden inside a human being..
because our souls..are connected..by this Hippie movement..
started in Haight Ashbury(San Franscisco)in the sixties...
and still now..more then 40 years later..
we are picking the fruits of this movement...
because..whatever it means...it is keeping us all together..
as 1 family..same feelings..same ideals..let's keep it that way..
for many years to come..

don't use an axe..to chase away a fly
from your friend's forehead..

there are many types of SHIPS..
wooden..
plastic....
and metal SHIPS..
but the best and most important types op SHIPS..
are FRIENDSHIPS

Stasia,

I do hope you can find the songs from Moody Blues??
and oh..yeah..I guess watching and waiting..that song
must have been perhaps emotional for you..but remember
tears are only letting out your inner feelings.....afterwards
you will feel better..I'm sure about that...
I know you'll do anything for your son...and I know you miss
the son which departed from you..it's hard..very hard..
We can't imagine what or how you feel..only thing we can do
is give you moral support..and that's what you will get...
Life brings dissapointments..feelings of loneliness..nothing can be
so bad then to feel abandonded..worst is if you cannot do anything
to bring something back which we have lost..only thing I can say is
a positive attitude towards life...these are only words..but...
think also that in this world there is so much misery going on...
to change the world into a better place we all have to start within
ourselves..so we should think positiv...
if you have fallen into a brook..
look in your pockets...maybe you caught a fish??
If you don't look...you don't see..and what you don't see...
can be very hard to find...it's a beautiful spring day here in Belgium...
also nature has got a lot of lessons for us..we've got orchards here
in my regio..and the apple+cherry trees are in full bloom...
wishing to have good friends..is an easy thing...
but REAL friendship...is a slow ripening fruit...

Hello all!!

Sorry I didn't come back lastnight as I promised I would. :& Sorry!! I got a sudden artistic urge to throw some paint around on a canvus. When I get the insperation to do my art I have to act on it immediately or I lose the insperation as suddenly as it came to me, so really sorry folks!!

Art IS just such a truely exellent medium to use to externalise you inner thoughts/problems/joy/anger/sorrow, whatever the emotion that is trying to reach the surface! Such a sweet release! It really is so very theraputic!! Feeling your ideas just pumping out of you traveling down your arm into the paint brush, the smell of the paint, the feel of the brush moving across the canvus, splatters of paint on you face and in your hair, oh!...it is so very wonderfully spiritual!! And you get some great pieces of (sometimes insperational or thought prevoking...) art out if it to add to you portfollio too! Or your wall if you are comfatable with the idea that you actually do like what you did! I AM perfectly happy to admit I love some of the art I have preduced in my freak moments of either termoil, scence of well being, 'questioning' moods or any kind of outsanding moment in your day, week, month, year or even you life! My art tends to be more along the lines of surealism. It's so fun to paint in this style, its like 'dreams in still images' I love it! I'd be lost without art.

I once went through a stange that lasted months, maybe a little over a year, where I had what a writter would discribe as 'writters block' but in terms of my art. I don't know how you'd phrase that but basically I was totally unable to externilise any of my feelings on to canvus. I hated it as I just couldn't seem to be able express myself properly whilst I was 'artistically paralysed' It made me feel dreadfully depressed. So I feel greatful for any time I am asble to be inspired to do any form of art at all. So you can now, hopefully, understand why I felt it so important to me to do that whist I was feeling inspired even though I had promised to come back on these forums.

Love, peace and empathy

 

I got them!!! I got all the songs you said I'd like, you were quite correct!! They are great tunes. I have been listening to so much "Moody Blues" since you introduced me to them (I did have one or two tracks already) but since making a special effort to track them down and properly listen to them I have really enjoyed them and now listen to them almost all the time!! :H

Hope you are a happy hippy today Old Tiger. X

Love, peace and empathy

 

Stasia,
Never feel sorry or regrets about coming back or not on hip forum..
What's more important is how you feel inside...anything that makes
you feel good has got PRIORITY above anything else..
whether it's painting,listening to Moody Blues or cry out your tears...
it's the feeling at the moment which determines whether painting is
a relief or not....ART certainly is an expression of your inner self...
Do you paint abstract art??or whatever it is..
as long as it makes you feel good..that's most important..
hip forum will always be here..the inspiration..
for ART can be a given moment..
some musicians,poets and painters did their best masterpieces
while either they were very happy or very depressed..
in both cases ART is a release of inner feelings of joy or sorrow..
Wish you could show some of your ART on this forum...
Anyhow,Stasia,we know that you feel better then last week..
and the whole forum is glad about that...

the one who doesn't has any dreams...
doesn't has any reality neither..

there is a dish called loneliness..
but it doesn't taste very good..
if you have to eat every day..

Stasia,
If this link is your ART..then I think it looks marvellous...
come on..and post some more..it's a mirror of your soul...
We all would like to see some more of your ART then..
old tiger(Belgium)

 

I am sorry to say I can't claim to this as being mine as it's not something I've done. But, this IS very simillar style of a lot of my work.
I just haven't ever thought to take pictures of my work to transfer it on to my computer really, some I have but not my best stuff. When I get the chance maybe I will.

This picture below, with my signature, is a design I'm going to be using to (possibley modify a little to make it more personal to me then...) have a tattoo done of it since I am known as "Goddess Moon"

 

Ok, have done if you click on to my gallery

 

Stasia,

this is ART with a big A...
beautiful colours..I do like opening of the heavens,
good vibrations...and Oh to be loved...
I can see a mystical message in it..
let us share more of your art,Stasia..
Is there anything more about the meaning of these works??
I mean..is there a personal message in it for us??or for the world?
Moody Blues...listened also today to these songs...
I can get emotional too if I listen to Candle of life,Questions..
and Watching and waiting...sometimes makes me cry...
old tiger

 

I don't always know what the message is ment to be, really it comes down to each indervidual and how they interprate them.
For me it's just a matter of externalising MY inner feelings. What they actually mean is probably quite obvious in some and in others it's not so obvious. It's just what was in my mind/heart that found its way out so I suppose you'd need to ask a 'Art therapist' or a pyschitrist what I mean by them!! Lol! To me they either represent a moods/feelings, my dreams/hopes or a signifident event in my life.

 

Stasia,

Found some more Moody Blues from 1999..
but not the same qualtiy of the songs I've mentionned
earlier in this thread..but still..try to listen to following
songs..1/Strange times..2/Haunted/..3/All that is real is you
4/Words you say..5/Forever now...6/The One...7/The swallow
8/Nothing changes....nice texts...but not like their earlier songs..

Hi Stasia,
I know how you miss your child, been there, done that. What gets me through the bad days, is to remember the funny little things.
Old Tiger said "do what makes you happy" that is the motto that everyone needs. Too many of us try to please everyone else. Bunk...that will never work. So, since they can't make themselves happy, that is their problem. If we are not happy, it's our problem.
Make Happiness your #1 priority, and everything else will fall into place.

Love and Blessings,

Phoenix

 

Thank you so for your understanding sweet words. Thank you. I am sorry very sorry to hear you have gone the something nearly the same as me. Because I KNOW the pain I do feel awful that you have been through it too.

Don't forget yourself to practice what you've preached to me, Phoenix, ok?

Peace to you and yours XXXX

 

i cant begin to even try to imagine your grief. nor will i try. just wanted to tell you how sorry i am and to be strong and know your child will be watching over you always. again, my sympathy goes out to you..

 

Hello,

Phoenix&Strdusst also seem to have the right attitude towards life..
it's true that we can't feel the pain which Stasia feels..
and perhaps is going through from time to time...
Only thing we can do is give her the necessary moral support..
make her feel she is NEVER alone...happinness is a word only..
to achieve it is something else..a thousand little factors
play a role in being happy or not..
Stasia,feel free to express you here..
one thing more..practise your ART..it's a relief..
listen to music,cry etc...and what your CHILD is concerned..
that's a pain only you know and feel..
remember 1 thing..you showed us that your LOVE..
belongs to this child..and your love continues in Abayomi..
Life is hard and cruel sometimes..that's a fact..
If you shed your tears..let them go..
but remember that in these tears..
all your deepest feelings are coming out as well..
and certainly the GOODNESS in you..
because all of us here can see you are a nice person...
That's all I wanted to say today..
I wish more people would express what they really feel...
hippies are FAMILY..but even in the best familys...
there can be misunderstandings,distrust and envy..
don't let it happen here with us...
Let's look at the GOOD side of life..
Life is already short enough..
so let's enjoy..and help each other
