Forgotten Dreams

FORGOTTEN DREAMS Have you ever abandoned a childhood dream? Is there something you used to love to do? A skill or gift that came quite naturally? Have you ever enjoyed doing your thing so much so that you lost all track of time? or it felt just like time stood still? Did it make you feel good? Did you ever take it for granted? At the beginning of 2013 I had a very pivotal dream. In the dream I was sitting on a garden wall or partition, at the center of the lounge or smoking area, inside this massive club or rave event. I get up, casually walk straight over to the far wall, and began painting a huge mural. I observe myself in this manner, applying paint to brick, from low ground to high ceiling, until I wake up... Many years ago when I was seven years old, I discovered I could draw and copy anything, using mostly pencil or pen. Thinking back, odds are the awareness of being an artist, much less, a successful one. That, was impossible. At the time there were no local artists I can recall being consciously aware of. Nada for actual immediate positive or inspiring influences to seize or draw upon. I guess I secretly desired to be a painter, but must have felt so intimidated that I never got around to it. As a teenager, before teaching myself to read music and play the piano, drawing would have been my favourite pastime. But as the years go by, following friends, as time goes by, drifting through life, from experience to experience. I must have buried my dream... At the time I was The Singer Songwriter Who Works As An Actor in TV, Films and Commercials. Being an Artist was not a part of the plan. Yet the message was clear, and there was no doubt. I knew for sure, it was time to paint. At first my mind was going through dem changes, thoughts and feelings vacillated between hope and fear. They ranged from: (1) I always wanted to paint. To: (2) I don't wanna be a Starving Artist. . But as I painted, I would catch myself smiling from time to time. I was becoming so much happier now. Reconnecting, with a forgotten part of me...
