BE Just The Way You Are Ó2012 Currie Silver |
BEcause nobody else
Can possibly BE it the way YOU can…
BEing just how I am has never been the most thrilling thing
I can imagine BEing. In fact, it has some pretty huge cracks in it. [mayBE
Leonard Cohen was on to something when he said that’s how the light gets in?!]
And yet there is another voice within me. The one who has
never lived out loud, the cheerleader, the jumping up and down and
rah-rah-rah-ing Currie. She is one of those “inner inhabitants” who has a voice
but NOT really a face, or a body I have walked round in.
And while all that I have said is true, and I BElieve in it
completely, there is also a HUGE part of me who feels like a mistake, an error,
and truly an aberration. I’ve had a run of “events” the past 6 or 7 years of
trying to “fit in” and “find my place” in larger groupings. [even in a small
one, but I won’t go there.]
This has me wondering lately, What is it that BElonging and BEing a part of this, that, or the other
group/s holds that I want/ed so much?!
And frankly, I canNOT tell you, or even myself…
Oh well…
I love you, Currie

Love your art works, Currie!
Incidentally, the title of your artwork above reminds me of my post last month:
