Of two minds

Whoa, this is one of my favorite paintings here, I don't know why. And it's mine to boot.

It's a good example of a painting that really just came out of me somehow and to have to explain it would just be a waste of time because I really don't know what it means.

But I reserve the right for it to mean something.

People are always so worried about what something means. I guess I'm starting to realize that there's a whole big part of a person who can respond to a painting without your conscious mind being a part of that response.

So you see a painting and you love it starting from some nether part of your being and you love it so much it starts to penetrate your conscious mind as being something worth noting and your conscious mind starts trying to find a reason why you love the painting so much.

It works and it works to figure it out and usually it comes up with something, something probably that can seem pretty coherent really. Like I like that green color. And I'm a person who always likes a green color so no wonder I like this painting so much.

But I think there is more to it, and the more to it that's there is not explainable. Try telling that to your conscious mind though, it aint' gonna buy it, something like that is basically like a revolt and your conscious mind is going to nip it in the bud.

Gonna say something to you like you know I really do think you're going crazy.

But don't believe that, stand up for yourself silently and continue to just like things without having to explain them. Nurture the part of you that cannot speak, and look for signs that it does communicate just not in the usual methods.
