PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

This week, I am taking a Flameworking class or blowing glass on a torch with a teacher who is the guru of flameworking.  He believes in learning the process of flameworking, and not on the end result or the final artwork.   This is why I decided to take a class with him, as he believes that every student of his will learn how to flamework, and take these critical skills home with them.  In fact, I do not expect to make any artwork at all this week, but will practice all the techniques he teaches, so I can produce my own artwork when I return home.

My spiritual path is this way as well, as I will falter one day, and succeed another. It is practicing diligently everyday what I write about on this blog, knowing that I may not always do the right thing on some days, and on other days, I am practicing compassion, kindness, self awareness, self love, releasing ego, and healing my emotional wounds.   My glass art path has mirrored my spiritual path as I began both around the same time.

It has taken me many years to have awareness about my spiritual journey, as I am also becoming a more aware glass artist in my craft. This week is when my spiritual path and my artistic path converge again after almost four years when they first began.  I have grown so much in both areas of my life, and as my flameworking teacher says, “With glass there is only one direction, that is forward.”   Blessings on your journey forward.
