Being one of the most interesting artistic themes of the last decades, the human body is basically for artists the same a piece of wood, stone or clay was to our ancestors. That is to say that art is turning it into an object susceptible of expressing symbols, meanings. In every day living we stumble in images of the body in the tv, cinema, marketing, and it is probable that this abundance reveals that we are all as a race interested in our bodies. Long centuries have passed since the imposition of the dualism matter spirit, body/soul. From Plato to Descartes, the image of the body as a dangerous machine full of adversities would come to be printed in the collective imaginary of the western man. The globalized societies of the 21st see the body as a tool that we will be able to use to wake in others their attention. In this sense, to talk about the body is to talk about the need of projecting an image – all the bodies wish to transmit an image that is unmistakable theirs’. From inn of all the males, body is now becoming not only what allows an individual to define his own identity but also the vehicle to achieve pleasure. Anyway, we should not forget that the human body has been used througtout the centuries as something similar to an artistic surface, or screen if you prefer, upon which humankind revealed its most deepest thoughts – something that we can still nowadays understand when we look at primitive tribes in Africa and Australia, and see the way in which they decorate their bodies with several degrees of significance. For them, the body is part of a wide ritual that connects them to god, to tradition, to the social community. Could it be that artists are trying to recapture that ritual importance of our material bodies? And should we say that they are leading the process of liberating human beings from the long traditional antagonism body/soul? An event dealing with the “ Image-body “ subjet would not be complete without the inclusion of a selection of works specifically dealing with videodance. Videodance can be understood as a dialogue between dance and video, giving birth to an artistic work where this two languages merge. It is clearly a form of artistic expression that exists in the video and for the video, setting itself up as the materialization of a thought that integrates in simultaneous the ideas of the choreographer and of the video producer. Thus being, videodance is a hybrid work, that does not allow the distinction between the video and the choreography.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Love [ME] tender
This series of intimate self-portraits has been a long time coming... it was my sister who was the "pretty one"... the "thin one"... the "smart one"... I grew up in her shadow... I was her little sister... never quite matching up to her, never able to be mom's "favorite"... These are painful thoughts, years of feeling self-loathing... today I took these photos of myself with love and forgiveness, and thoughts of "I am beautiful"... chubby, but beautiful...
My mother's heritage to me was her sense of herself as a "fat person"... not quite worthy of beauty and maybe this is why she admired and "loved" my sister more, for she was the "beautiful one".... Maybe I was too much a mirror to her.
Feeling deep pains as I write this... but today is the day I fight back and say to my mother "It's OK to be fat"... It's beautiful if you feel beautiful inside, if you are loved deeply by a wonderful man, and if you love yourself enough to forgive yourself for being "fat"....
I think these photos of myself are full of love and beauty... that's how I feel about [ME].... today....

A Photo Where I Recognize Myself…
March 8, 2023: This week, I’ve been #reading about #love and the concept of #LettingGo. If you follow my highlights here, you’ve likely seen my sharing of posts that examine #selflove and #selfcare.
Embedded in the concept of unconditional love is the idea of letting go, or of letting things be. Kain Ramsay, in his @udemy course, #Mindfulness Practitioner Diploma, describes how: “Letting go is a way of simply accepting things as they are. Let your experience be what it is and practice observing it from #moment to moment. Sometimes things end, and sometimes people end.”
It’s one of the nine attitudinal foundations of mindfulness, as described by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn. Specifically, Kabat-Zinn notes how this process can be painful, “… but the letting go is actually the doorway to freedom, and it’s something you don’t do once - it’s something you practice over and over and over again, moment by moment by moment. Every time you catch yourself clinging to something you remind yourself that it’s possible to just let it be, and to just let it go. The breath can remind us of that because every time we take a breath in, we have to let it go.”
@leeoralexandra notes how, “…whenever a challenge comes up, just let go, and you’ll open more. And that’s my path, it’s the path of the ocean, of love, of seeing God in everybody. And one of the things stops us from seeing God in everybody is attachment. Attachments come from the ego. Do you feel you can only be happy if you have this person in your life? Or this thing? Or this experience? Or this event? Or maybe it’s an attachment to who you want to be or who you see yourself as, to who you think you are.“ Alexandra also notes how “Our attachments are nightmares. When we’re attached, we are at the whim of our attachments and that’s such a heavy way to live…“
It’s something I’ve thought a lot about in recent weeks, especially as I find myself at a kind of a crossroads in my life - one where I can continue on the path where anxiety and depression continue to weigh down my life and muddy up my reflections and decisions. @aarondoughty44 explains, “…the key to this is realizing that it’s the #power of coming back to self, and not #abandoning yourself any longer. The most #magnetic thing you can do is to pull back your #energy, to be and feel safe in your own body… that allows you to heal (and in situations where another is involved), and it allows them (to heal), go through and get the space they’re asking for.”
It’s something that terrifies me. In a @coursera program on mindfulness I’ve been working through, it asked us to rate the level of difficulty we found an attitudinal foundation to be in terms of implementing it in our life. In terms of actualized practice, I rated it a 9/10, or very difficult. But ultimately, it’s a concept I know I need to do some serious work on.

"You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female.'" —Erin McKean
"Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies."
- Erich Fromm
It’s true. Tantric sex really has no beginning, middle or end. It’s really about just riding this one big wave of ever-flowing orgasmic energy right from beginning all the way until the swell slows down and two bodies surrender in a pool of elated exhaustion.

Today's Flickr Group Roulette group is "I'm A Poser", but the theme of that group is "Self portraits which express some kind of self love." So I figured I'd do a shot of myself showing myself some love by feeding myself a cherry. I happened to have a shirt that fit today's theme pretty well, too (thanks to Trish and her threadless.com shopping sprees)!
For 365 Days, Flickr Group Roulette, and today's FGR group, I'm A Poser.
“All distractions on the outside
All the things that call to do
Disappear so freely now
When my heart calls out to You
All the darkness and the worry
All the pain and sadness too
Dissipate upon the instant
That my heart reaches for You
Then I hear the inner colors
Let go in sweet romance
In a mystery of motion
Reconnect the inner dance
When all the music and the painting
Of my life without run dry
My brushes touch the secret canvas
Filled with strokes of endless sky
When my longings in this swirling
Reach for deeper shades of touch
My heart invokes That Artist
Who loves me very much”

I am grateful for goals with soul. I spent the morning going through a desire map workbook to bring myself to my core desired feelings. Jotting down words, crossing out words, circling words, all based on how I want to feel in 2016. The process is beautiful. I love words. The idea is to create goals and make plans based how you want to feel. Make sense, right? Thank you to my great friend Carrie for introducing me to Danielle LaPorte and her books last year. This is my 2nd year creating goals with soul.

From March 1, 2022: Today, I’m starting a new journey of self reflection & exploration. I’m hoping to connect more deeply with myself as I work to overcome my depression. Often, I’m too quick to jump online & moan about the state of my life, which can be okay, but I need to be able to see through the negative towards more positive outcomes. To know that I’m not always so worthless or useless. To know that I have something to offer in life.
I want to feel more positive about myself because I’m the only person I have in my life that I can depend on for the love I desire. I know I have a habit where I say these kind of thoughts, & in other posts I’ve often talked about trying to actualize these things, trying to actualize unconditional love & reverence for all life starting with myself, but I also know that I’ve often failed at doing this for myself. It’s time to stop failing. As author @shannonkaiserwrites says, it’s time to start living & using joy as a barometer for how I feel.
In terms of the selfies I’d like to capture this month, I want to explore ways of seeing myself visually that I haven’t done before over the last two years, while also keeping them authentic to how I feel.
I admit, I’m nervous that I will start strong & then fall again. I need to craft some kind of a safety plan for when I feel myself growing weak. A way to lift me up from under the weight of the metaphorical bricks that can feel too heavy on my shoulders. I’m not sure what that will look like but maybe that’s a question I can put to my non-physical guides & teachers in tomorrow mornings automatic writing session.
Another thing that I need to do this month is reach out for help. I’ve been struggling so much, & I haven’t done the things I need to do to get better. There were times in January & February when I felt lower than I did when I ended up in hospital for my depression. It’s not some thing I’m proud of. But I have to get over being upset with myself or feeling guilty for not getting the help that I know I need. Because when I do that I just cycle down into more shame, regret & remorse to the point of paralysis. So this is my manifesto: that kind of shit ends today.
I took my photo today, of my feet, walking through the mess that’s on my bathroom floor. I placed my camera down on the floor to look straight ahead at where my feet would walk, & I used a delayed shutter release to capture the image with a shallow depth of field. I think I’m happy with the shot, my bare feet still scarred from when I cut them up in January after walking 10 km & boots that didn’t fit properly. It’s taking almost 2 months for my feet to feel comfortable in shoes again. They might’ve healed more quickly had i not continue to walk for a few days after hurting my feet. By doing that, I made my feet feel worse, even though I was wearing padded Band-Aids, gauze & thick socks, returning to my old shoes that I had worn before trying out the new boots. So one foot still looks worse than it feels, in fact I feel nothing at all, even though it’s still purple & bruised. But it’s a reminder that with time, even the deepest of wounds can heal, & one can carry on in life as if nothing had even happened at all. Finally, I’m also loving how you can see the blurred outline of my beautiful dog Kira, who was standing in the hallway probably wondering what it was I was trying to do.
