i used to get Home from high school, turn on music, and paint every single day. this form of Art Therapy used to Be my saving Grace.

Now, art therapy grounds me more deeply into the Now moment—embracing any and All Pheelings, and bringing it into the painting. 

this creative expression once was an escape to Be outside of where i was; to run from my Pheelings, to hide from abuse, to hide that i was constantly Living in a state of hyper-vigilance and fear for my Life.

Now, this expression is an undressing, an opening, a flowing of what wisdom codes have unlocked in my Body and are ready to Be birthed from my womb.

thank You, Frank Ocean, for Your vibrantly rich poetry and for Your many contributions to this God-Human Lived experience that We call society
