Transcendence<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It’s all about absorbing energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You touch “something” and turn it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

into a feeling. An emotion. An energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tension in your body or in your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You radiate energy to your environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affecting people, with every expression of emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An accumulation of energy that transforms into a shout,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a tear, an outburst of anger, or an embrace full of passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showing this power is transferring energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love, anger, sadness, incomprehension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

They stick to me when I walk next to you. Like a magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I absorb them as memories that are made during a long journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take them from life, or a past life if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They stick to my fingers like paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some cannot be mixed, and repel each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ebb and flow of sand and water, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

constantly pulling and pushing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes scouring to the point of bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some, on the other hand, blend perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mixture of different colours can make a totally new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bring the energy together and watch <\/p>\n\n\n\n

how it dances, how it crawls,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how it loves, fights, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

how it is born and how it dies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotions give my paint its structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I give the structure to the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

What does it do to you? Does it stick to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it push you away? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or does it hug you and never let go?<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
