just joking...

I've been in a deep reading mood more than posting here lately. And I'm appreciating the years of information and conversation collected by ya'll. Learning. The Work takes work and there's no lying way around it. I'm glad too that there's an area to joke a little bit.

In all the sessions I've read lately, the C's always have a very appealing, gentle sense of humour that kind of grows on you. I know it's silly, and possibly worth not commenting on foolishness, but I wanted to post this design. Hope The C's don't mind.

Couldn't you see this on t-shirts up there at your Chateau, Laura? LOL.... an instant cult classic...

I just don't 'get it.' Maybe if you explain?

It just looks like a vampire kid with the measles, shocked with electricy, and an extra set of arms?

Everyone loves a good laugh, but this one just doesn't make any sense to me. No offence. :)

Then I missed the mark. It was just meant to be a silly space alien, not the C's . Perhaps I should remove it.

You're doing the 'I'm going to remove things that don't get the response I want" thing again. There is no reason to remove it. In fact, it would be rude to remove it because people have taken the time to respond. So, if you can get to the core of why you have this reaction (perhaps I should just remove it) then this thread will have given you something more valuable than the feedback you expected.
 
I hope you realize New Orleans that you can feel safe here to talk about anything you need/want to. If you'd like (and since you have enough posts) you can put it in the swamp where it's more private. I don't think there's any subject that can shock or disgust anyone. We all have wounding. All of us. There's no getting around that. There's no need to carry the burden alone. :)
 
It wasn't mean as offensive or confusing. And Anart if I didn't say I wanted to remove it, you'd wonder if I'd been body snatched by pod people and substituted with another person. (I'm joking.) Seriously, yeah, you're right: Wish to participate>presentation of art>nonresponse and/or response>wish to remove it. The modus operandi is pretty simple. The core wish is to liked.

And thank you, Truth Seeker, I'll go over to the Swamp sometime soon. I was trying to cheer myself UP not DOWN. Right now I'm going through some stressful things and yet I don't feel right about dumping my drama - especially very personal things - on strangers quite yet. I know that this is the place for The Work, and I value this place a lot. But some things are hard to say.

Yeah, saying some things almost feels like a death sometimes, doesn't it? The thing is, it the death of the old ways of being. Just know that we don't consider it dumping. There is no burden in helping others. Take your time, you'll know when it's right. :)

edit: clarity

What you might be missing is that we like you for who you are and not for what you do. Your art has nothing to do with it - your art is what you 'do'. You are who you 'are'. The 'treasure' is in you, not your art.
 
I know you're right in the distinction of one to the other, dear Anart. It takes courage to open up, especially with the rare trash I have to confess. True, we all have things in common, and then we also have things different as night and day. Like I once said, I'm not Chaz Bono, but I have a different life history than most. Being transgendered is a difficult story to untangle. But the core strands are just the same as anyone else: Human wants to be a better person and humans are liars for the most part. Perhaps I'll find the moment to go over these things in The Swamp area.
 
I for one was not at all offended by your picture, and meant no offence to you either. I was just being honest and wanted to get the jest of your sense of humor so that I could laugh along with you. :)

However I'm sorry to read that you are going through some stressful times.

Hope to see you more among this forum family.
 
Oh, Dawn, I'm certain that you meant "what the hell is that so I can laugh too." And that was a good question too. If I have to explain a joke, it's my dilemna to answer. So you didn't see a space creature but measles on a multi-armed vampire? That does sort of get it.

And Anart, more than once you have shown me great kindness.

(edit: grammar)
 
I too at first thought vampire with some sort of skin condition. ;) But after examining for a moment, the arms gave it away as an alien. I didn't post anything before there any posts, but maybe it was for the best as the natural flow inspired some insightful posts.
 
3D Student: He's going to a dermatologist about the skin spots... Actually I'm going to a job interview tomorrow, so wish me luck.
