Have you ever found yourself so lost in thought that it felt more real than the actual world around you? 

In fact, the part we perceive, the part we observe, the part we have feelings about, the part we make sense of in our minds, the part we process, the part we remember, the part we try to forget, the part where possibility lay, the part that is open to expansiveness and unlimited by the tangible, that's what life is made of.  

All the things we think are real around us are only there being perceived, processed and responded to through our thoughts... so the way we think and what we choose to think about is quite possibly the most important aspect of our lives.

I wanted to paint a painting to remind myself of the unlimited possibilities of the mind and to help me reframe my thinking into its fullest potential.  A reminder of how the thoughts and feelings I have, and the decisions I make each day based on them, are the realest part of me -- the part most connected to my soul.

So I painted it.  A woman walking alone, lost in thought, the "real" world around her becoming a vaguely abstract and the complexity of her mind coloring her reality.  In this painting I have color, thought forms, music, organic unfoldings,  memories, timeline, neurochemicals and hormones (such as dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline) and above all, the reminder that everything is possible, everything is possible, everything is possible written over and over again.

The stuff of our inner world that actually creates what we experience as we travel this planet, so it's important to keep reminding yourself that everything is fluid and everything is possible.  I wrote an article here about how staying open to possibility truly affects your health:

If you could use a visual reminder to stay open to possibility, perhaps this painting can bring its warmth and potential into your living or work spaces.
