I did not realize until one of my friend who visited my home recently bought to my attention that I have a thing for the dancing girl. Unknowingly my heart connects to it, which shows up in my art. I had 4 paintings and a few collectibles of a ballet dancer.
I was looking at them yesterday and thinking, why? Why my sub-conscious mind or heart leans towards the dancing girl?
I think it’s that free blissful soul of a woman that speaks to me. When she bends and swirls like there’s nothing in this world that matters to her at that moment. It reflects that freedom, that pure happiness, that act of breathing everything in, of embracing everything around, of just being herself.
Just the act of stretching your arms wide, bending your back and looking up at the sky - fills you in with so much peace(try it once if you haven’t already). Now I know that I have always carried this feeling; I checked my pictures; any place I connect to, I pose in the same manner.
I do have a list of other things that I connect to, but it was interesting to discover about dancing girl and relate it to back to me. Yeah, unknowingly the dancing soul is etched deep in me.
What do you connect with? Just look around and you might have the answer hidden in your day to day life; you might just not know it yet.
