Faith Helma, Creative Guide

Find space to tantrum. AAAAAAAH what can I do in 15 minutes I can’t keep up with the world I can’t text anymore (throw a lil tantrum). I hear the crows outside they are calling to each other. Can I learn from them how to call out danger, how to guide each other to safety. How to jump into wings. Surprise.

Restless for structure
Climbing in and out
Guitar in sun
Don’t we die hiding under the ice
I REFUSE
Cat = safety
Animal familiars
Excellent idea : rain whatever needs it

Sunrise landing Seattle to Detroit / midnight deer in snow / stranger things / steampunk messenger chat / Pictionary nephew punking (Faith is ____, the word is loser) / snow punk / 2 0 2 6 / F Loser WINS

Holidaze … don’t forget it’s me hiding under ice … slow it down … make a fort … sand is kinetic attention … grief and joy in the living … candles and light

Evolving cans and cants on cardboard with markers and acrylic paint

Today’s pep talk

What if … your dreams defy you … take small steps … self portrait with paintbrush necklace and sunglasses askew

Pep talk from me to me … can’t today does not mean can’t ever … slow it down … one step at a time … don’t forget your sunglasses

Trash into art (or, art out of recycled materials).
Altoids. Curious winter (you are growing). A celebrated strong green (rest IS power). Dominos. No domination. Do******ix moon.

Questions keep us alive (do they?)
Asking questions keeps me alive
Aliens dance in dreams (do they?)
I will crow creation
I will outfox the system
(I won’t outfox myself)
I will reach out when I can
I will respond when I can
I will dream care and support for all of us

(What I’m painting with this fall)

Halloween in motion in twilight in disco light in rain in puddles in jumps runs leaps skids … as wolf shifter / scotsman / pirate king / death … season of serious pretend season of ancestors season of dark and light season of too much … I am learning to lean into it, embrace the jangly ups and downs, participate with all the wisdom and foolishness of my years. Don’t fight the candy… become one with the candy. Etc.

Felt good to be out with people today expressing dissent. I didn’t get many pictures, too caught up in the vibe of joyful rebellion, love and creativity. Got a few moments though.
