No Place Like Home - The Dream Language of Oz by Karin Taylor

oh thank you so much bubbles, i am very honoured that you stopped to have a look and comment, i am deep in thought on the subject right now :)

thanks very much pinky, i will definitely look into this song too
as well as Eva Cassidy’s rendition of it which is truly beautiful
i appreciate you reading this and your encouragement so much :)

pinky, thank you so much for reminding me of this beautiful song, i have just ‘utubed’ it and memories come flooding back, i have heard it before…...i will be listening to it a lot from now on….thx sweetie :)

oh yes, can relate to that Ginny :)
thx!

Thank you so much for reading this Robin, and your lovely comments, it’s a special story :)

thank you very much for taking the time to read it and comment, i very much appreciate your words :)

lol thank you fa…
just my own interpretation ..not everyone’s cup of tea, and not everyone will have experienced the story as I did…..it would depend on where you were in life’s journey at the time you saw it I believe…....this is just my process to draw me nearer to my goal of creating some new artwork

thanx Jakki…i’m excited to make a start…
i have some ‘me’ time coming up soon and looking forward to it :)

Hi Emily,

oh wow, i’ve had this simmering for a few years, it went off the boil but came back to me in the last couple of days….until i got this burning desire to revisit it all…that is amazing Emily, that you too have just been watching it. I am not familiar with Caroline Myss, but i think i would find it very valuable reading….I am very open to anyone elses’ interpretations as i know it will stretch me further and enhance my understanding. I would love it if you could scan it for me Emily, that would be wonderful. I have an alternative gmail address i can give you for sending it to. I once thought of doing the field of poppies, and yes it does remind one of the apostles falling asleep on Jesus… the ideas that i have for the pix are going to be rather unusual tho, not too traditional, so they may not be to everyone’s liking, but I’m so looking forward to getting started….i think i’ll draw up all the pics first, and paint them after, that way I’ll be able to get a flow from one to the next….it won’t actually follow the story so much, as depict certain aspects that appeal to me and my twisted brain :)
thx so much, Karin xo

hi emily,
i love your new profile pic by the way
just whenever you get a chance, there’s no hurry

how do you get access to those beautiful old cars
I’m wondering? hugs k xo

I love those old cars, some of them are so quaint, specially love the white open top one with ribbons… i always wanted an FJ Holden :) instead i had to settle for a silly old blue VW that was temperamental !!

thank you so much Paul!! it’s funny, i notice a few people are on this subject at the same time in their thoughts! I just had a look at Lisbeth Zwerger’s work and it is magical! ....ideas are still fermenting in my head at the moment, but I’m looking forward to making a start…i think mine will be rather different, probably very stylised with a subtext, it should be interesting :)

thx so much webbie, one of my faves too!! i loved the Good Fairy the best, and those RUBY SHOES!! and toto of course ;) x

thx so much Patricia Anne, you know I love your writing, it’s gutsy, honest, brilliant and I can’t get enough!!! You are a born writer! x

Yeah Pip!! I think the combo is a powerful one… I found pondering these things to be of great benefit…. I notice too that sometimes I don’t realise how blessed I am to have my little famy until Ive experienced a loss of some kind… Appreciation for what I already have, rather than what I don’t have would be worth developing lol xxx

Thank you and how beautifully clear you put it…. We are like unfinished masterpieces allof us with incredible potential … It’s all about the choices we make, they seem to forge the characters and personalities we become. For rarely does a child begin it’s life filled with rage and murder in his heart, and yet we see adults like this….. Circumstance, chance, predestination, I’m
not sure that those things matter, it’s more about the reaction or the response we choose to each sutuation.

In looking back over my
life, the worst situations of all have led to the greatest growth of all….
I have complained bitterly when they were upon me, or going through the throws, but how much I’ve grown in compassion and understanding to those around me directly correlates to my own suffering…therefore I Wang to choose to be grateful fir whatever crap life can throw my way lol xxx

That’s a wonderful thing to be able to say Byron, so pleased this affirming for you :)
and appreciate you taking the time to read and respond
:)

That’s a really great idea Bev, if I ever do a series in the future that something I’d really like to consider :). Thanks very much !

I’m glad it came at a good time juilee… I’d hidden it from view for a long time and only today added it back..z hug 4 u …

Dear Delphine, I’m so touched that this resonates with you, and I was so moved by your words, you indeed shed on me your love and light and lifted my heart which had become a little bit heavy of late…with your kindness and thoughtful words… thank you….Peace and love, Karin xoxox

you are so kind, thank you so much Yan Gao!! :)

wow Vanessa, i don’t have any idea how you chanced upon this, but i’m so happy you did, i didn’t know that about the Dark Side of the Moon, how fascinating…i’ve been noticing that there is a certain creative consciousness that most flow around us, as so many people seem to be on the same track of thought and creative pursuits..and no one realises, til you sorta bump into each other, and then you see you’ve done a similar artwork or somesuch…and it’s vaguely disturbing, but at the same time, heartening…i’ve never experienced anything like it … so maybe that creative energy that’s out there, the creators of Oz and the creators of DSOTM were tapping into the same rhythmn and energy…it’s weird cos i would have thought that was a bit out there for me to believe, but seeing is believing and there’s just been too much to ignore….i’m so pleased you enjoyed reading this….it was a really big deal for me at the time, and i truly studied and dissected each thought until it came together into one cohesive thought and an understanding that better helped me live life…..i find it hard to go along and not understand or have purpose…for me, it’s so important to feel that what i do is purposeful…and so this is why i love the circle…for it is completion…i love to create, but love to sell….and a circle that not only completes itself but links to other circles….growth and growing, learning and changing and having a willingness to be teachable… and forgiving, forging the way ahead is such a difficult task, but it’s an important one that one ends up a better person by the end than one was in the beginning…i’m so far from where i’d like to be….giving, unselfish, never jealous or envious…but still i have these emotions and want to get beyond them and grow through them…nurturing strength of spirit and for me I guess nurturing my faith, is a big and important part of it all….i think that i am most comfortable when i am in my spiritual and meditative zone with my creator and there it is that no body is required, simply spirit…that’s where i thrive best, i think that’s where my home is… who needs a body lol :) x

oh beautifully spoken ….. x

OH thank you so much lianne, it means so much to me, because you write so beautifully and are so in touch with your emotions and able to express them in the written in exquisite detail and grandeur… i feel so lacking at times, but i had well thought this out, long and hard, deliberating as you say over it all…and hoping to find my way home in some way…it really helped me, trying to nut things out often does, as does mulling things over out loud with a good and trusted friend… it sort of helps me to come to conclusions which i normally would never make…and these help steer me along a new course…have you seen “Where the Wild Things Are”..? we saw it yesterday, and i’m thinking about challenging myself by deliberating over what the movie meant to me…i think there’s somthing to learn from it, and yet still felt the message was a little hidden and i have to look and search for the depth of meaning there….to think this makes your spirits soar, well i had to take a moment to smile a while before i replied…thank you for encouraging me !! :) x
