    inside that elevator….it is just you and “all there is within your own mind”...
    really, it is about TRUST….

  • linaji replied

    So true Wendy.. trusting our own instincts and asking ourselves does it feel good or not..

    Acceptance. You accept that the elevator will do what it should, not fear the fact it could fail. You are on my mind and your book, as my work descends into uncertainty… : )

    This is your best work yet Linaji. I may not be in synch with the elevator theme on this one; but this image is over the top. I did not even see the eyes until I read your prose! It is the cold metalic blue/silver with just that sliver of life light in the eyes that make it work for me. Great work.

    I would be truly awestruck to have the verdict delivered in such a spooky place. Should the message be all daiseys and lace, I simply would not trust it. Prior experience and spooky place delivery would make me a nonbeliver. Isn’t it weird that we trust ourselves? There simply must be salvation in that. Cheers, Dear.

  • linaji replied

    Evil is not death darling!! What if evil is just a matter of how much we focus on something that is rotten.. what if evil goes away the less we pay it mind? What if.. evil is live spelled backwards and alls that means is I am (evil) Challenging you to LIVE.. AND.. WHAT IF
    LIVING WAS REALLY JUST GREAT!! XOXO

    However do you do it? Keeping track of all that flies about? I appreciate your direction. I get it. And it is an important directive: evil backwards. It’s all how one looks at it. Thanks for the boost forward. i needed that.

  • linaji replied

    for the last 3 years I have had to practice feeling again.. I just ask my self.. if I am pissed.. does it feel good.. and so I allow being pissed or what ever seems negitive to be.. until it no longer feels good.. when it does not feel good.. I ask my self.. what thought could feel better? and so pissed may go to irritated.. irritated to casual snippy.. then to some sort of acceptance.. of people place or thing.. I don’t stay…”happy” .. I stay in the feeling place.. that brings me to happiness much faster.. but I admit.. to feel again and be conscious of my feelings.. it has taken a while.. Now this year and last have been the best years EVER IN MY LIFE.. feeling journey has given me my smile back.. tee hee.. xoxosending you a big fat hug too!!

  • lucin

    lucin

    A directed feeling has given you back your smile. I get it. You have no idea how timely this dialogue is for me. “What thought could be better?” I tuck this into my soul and go forth. I thank you.

    I’ve been reading these comments first, thinking about elevators, would life’s question’s answers come in through the little speaker? maybe the walls would turn transparent, and you’d see a series of clips of your own life with narrative explaining shades of good and evil that you created and endured, then go back to all your other lives and compare, see how your soul is progressing towards Graduation in this big School, salient points highlighted, pitfalls that weren’t avoided, weaknesses, in short, a Performance Review from way back then to the present.

    But what I keep thinking about this image is, which of us is in the cage, and which is out? Were you aware that’s the official term for the old fashioned elevator cars? So if he’s in the cage, then I can’t get any answers unless I get in too, that takes more trust than usual, and all the confidence I can muster… I’ll let you know how it turns out!

  • linaji replied

    This is what I find so wonderful about you.. and I know you do not embrace too much public display of affection.. but you really have a beautiful mind friend.. I can see so much more in my work and all the possibilities because of this comment from you…. and i am deeply indebted to you.. infact I feel like a few pools of water around my eyes.. tisk.. i know stop…. but this is brilliant.. i see a movie with your vision I see questions to my own work begin as I must tell you this above all that I have done intrests me.. I go back and view my pieces constantly.. something I have never done before as such.. and I so wish friend at some point collaborating with you..Deep Heart and full of thanks Syd.. Lina

    you know – without the title I dont see evil at all – I see intellect and inquisitiveness oh and maybe a little eccentricity (and a lot of bad spelling) – but evil? nah – hmm – not sure what question that I asked now. – dave
