"In the corners of my mind, time is framed...in the expansion of my heart, time is patience....in the freedom of my soul, time is eternal." - OJO -
As I come to yet another cross roads in life I can see so much more into my time lines ..... or time bubbles as I have come to so fondly refer to them as.
Why time bubbles?
Well, bubbles have always held such a magical connotation in my life. The naive childlike fun of blowing bubbles remains a part of me to this day, as for many of us, we feel a celebratory effect upon our souls when we delight in these magical 3D orbs. The beautiful, swirling colours, the instantaneous burst into nothingness, bubbles joining together, and simply watching as they drift out of sight into the skies....what magic & joy they are!
Time bubbles are so much a part of this essence.....life is unpredictably beautiful in it's form and flow. For myself, as a witness to my own life and those around me, there appears to be times when we drift along so securely and elegantly in our lives. The bubble we live within carries us far, can be spacious, with beautiful iridescent colours surrounding us. We may be joined with another or a few bubbles as we drift along, yet sometimes we ride through the winds of time alone. As we float along we learn to live in the eternal moment, knowing that in any instant we will gently pop in the wind, our time ceases to exist in that experience.
Reflecting back to five years ago a beautiful art project in White Rock B.C. Canada called 'Murals In Action', done during the annual Spirit of The Sea Festival. Participating in the first year of this project was Elizabeth Hollick, Nicci Battilana, Alicia Ballard and myself. The project itself was fabulous in promoting local artists while they worked for the public to witness and interact with, and also to re-create new murals with new artists each year during the festival....the bubbles in the wind....everything changes, nothing remains the same.

This time frame has also been a personal 'time bubble' of creative contemplation and growth. I contemplate often how we may be living in various time bubbles simultaneously, realizing some bubbles seem to overlap in experiences/places/people and yet they also float solo on their journeys. The experiences over these years have come to fruition in many outlets, some have re-seeded themselves with new vigor to begin anew and some have returned to compost and nurture concepts yet to come. I know not when this bubble will burst, I know only that it is in each moment of Now that I remain in trust and love for the beauty that surrounds all of us. I am in awe and gratitude at the creative souls I have joined with during this time bubble, the love and light shared by many.
