Cockroach, 1992

Read any Kafka lately? lol this painting is from 1992 when I was really going through it. It is all about existential angst, and the idea that I was just an unimportant cog in the wheel in of all of life. You know, if you think that you’re just a cog in the wheel being drug along with time, it’s really easy to fall into the pattern of being a victim, which can be really depressing. I think it’s easy to forget how awesome we, as humans, are, because we’re just so much more than even we realize yet. So if you ever feel like this, know that it’s not actually true, it’s just the underbelly of the fact that you are powerful, which can also be scary. Get your stone, hold it in your hand, and repeat after me:

You create your life.

Take a deep breath.

Place your rock under the painting. Say silently:

I release any brain patterning,

subconscious or conscious thought,

or energetic resonance to the

idea that I am a victim

To my life circumstances.

I participate, I learn. I become.

I am an infinite being and I am only subject

To what I hold in my mind.
