Growing Pains & Comforts
"First I painted the whole structure of his face. Then I wiped out the face. And when the face was gone, it was more Frank than when the face was there." -Elaine de Kooning
Have you arrived yet?
Not "there".
Not at a goal.
here.
Have you arrived here, in this moment- in this body?
Do you need to "wipe it out" first? (all of the distractions, thoughts and ideas)
or do you just need to stop trying to figure it out before you're in it?
(psst- you're always in it.)
((yeah, i'm annoyed by that too lol))

0:05 And the quote says. Frank was standing there, says Elaine de Kooning. First I painted the whole structure of his face. Then I wiped out the face. And when the face was gone. It was more Frank than when the face was there. Hm. I painted the whole thing. Right. I. Putting all that effort. I studied it. I translated it. And then when I wiped it away, It was more true than when it was there. That's kind of how I feel like in life right now.
0:48 I've worked so hard. I've done so much. And wiping it away. Feels like. The most honest thing I can do.
