Catharsis

Nov 5

In this time of pandemic-induced social isolation I sometimes find myself feeling a bit like a caterpillar socially isolated in a shiny chrysalis. Shiny because I remain positive about one day breaking out, transformed into something akin to a feather-light Monarch butterfly. It will be a stunningly beautiful day, fresh air, fresh life, freedom like I haven’t felt in years, going around hugging people I don’t even know. I can image the way that will feel. Cathartic. Immensely, beautifully, deeply meaningfully cathartic.

This painting represents that moment. I’ll be a bit dazed at first, slightly confused, pieces of old memory floating around in my brain, then … foomp … realization. We have been set free.

It’s coming. I know it’s coming. Catharsis. Butterflies. Us. Again. But kinder, more accepting of each other, and definitely more loving.

I know we have it in us.

Passionate for nature, life, writing and sharing, this site is mutually dedicated to my three favorite vehicles through life - Photography, Writing and Speaking. As professional photographer I was (and still am) in my favored "Observer" mode. As writer, these observations exposed a deeper understanding into ethics, authenticity and leadership. As speaker, I get to be selfish. In giving we gain - big! By helping you to discover your own authenticity, passion and where you too are a leader, I get a huge pang of fulfillment. Yes, I am a giver - the most selfish sort of person that ever was. (that is, once you realize how great the results of giving truly are)
