This particular gloomy morning upon returning from an adventure I have been thinking about how "Feelings" are one of the most powerful and influential things on earth......
They shape our perspective, perception, experiences - emotional, mental, even spiritual state..... how we relate to others and how our emotional and logical aspects of our identity are influenced....... Even the way we communicate is often dictated by feelings - How we choose to say things - and the way it is received...... What is it that creates feelings? Learned behaviors? Patterns? Associations? Prior experiences? - I'm sure a book on phycology could explain why...... however this particular gloomy morning I preferred to sit and ponder the meaning of feelings and philosophy behind them rather than the actual neurological backed cause…… So how dow we create these so called “feelings?” - For me the feeling I get before a trip is usually elated, heightened and happy, It is one of the best feelings in the world….. I am the sort of person who is constantly craving adventure - thriving in situations where I am forced to live out of a suitcase in strange lands..... trying weird food .......... Seeing things I never dreamed of........... This has been an aspect of my personality since early childhood - so I began to wonder if personality can influence the feelings we have prior to experiences....... yet experiences influence personality don't they? As does environment….. This particular year - I have already seen so many patterns and parts of myself that have been locked away or changed based on the environments or cirucmstances I have lived in - It has been shocking…… (especially since we are only a few weeks into the new year) How do we create change………. Could there be a key within the idea of feelings to unlock the depths of our emotional and mental potential? I am not a doctor …… I am an artist ……… so although I don’t currently posses any of the answers to these questions what I have decided to do is hopefully create a feeling of connection…… a feeling of hope……. And a feeling of light within our world…………. Or at least hopefully inspire you to think about something new….. I can only share things from my perception ……….. what value it has is up to you......... In the moment of this photograph I was filled with such intense joy that I wanted to dance - for no reason in the middle of the street............ If I could - I would share that feeling with the world .... instead the photograph will just have to do........ Your bohemian Girl Next Door - Kirra Moon
