Poppy Paper Collage

Other than the finishing coat on this collage I think it’s done!!Finding my way with paper collage is definably a process. Without a teacher, who has done this sort of work before it’s an expensive “find my way around” process. I started thinking I could do this with just torn paper however it has morphed into cutting and creating as I go. Which I suppose is what Art is.

THE LIGHT …………

Yesterday I saw this quote on a blog that I read weekly. It was from either a Lenard Cohen song or Poem.

It said:
RING THE BELLS THAT STILL CAN RING

FORGET YOUR PERFECT OFFERING

THERE IS A CRACK IN EVERYTHING

THAT’S HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN

I am so moved by this………probably more moved than I have been in a long time.
My interpretation of this tells me to ” ring the bells that still can ring” = do what you still can do
………..”forget your perfect offering” = stop not doing things because they/it may not be perfect…..
.”there is a crack in everything” = no thing is perfect, all have faults/cracks……………
.”that’s how the Light gets in” = it is in our humble state/ our brokeness that God/Light/Source get to us ……………Ah ah Amen
