This was very interesting, got me thinking. I love that clip from Soul, it perfectly captures it. Also those little illustrations of yours are great! Like the opening to door to space.
I tend to link the "Zone" to eastern philosophy, and the idea of the ego dissolving away for a bit. And maybe you become pure consciousness without the extra baggage of being human - and that feels like a rest, refreshing, when you come out of it. In any case, it's a feeling I'm often looking for.
The Eastern philosophy/ego dissolving away totally speaks to this idea (and me!) too. I think about it as becoming pure consciousness too. Love the way you phrased all that!
Hey Christine! It's been too long! I LOVE this movie for the same reason. The first time I watched it I identified with The Zone! I've been there musically & artistically. Truthfully, as a believer in Jesus & the Bible, there is a spirit realm to reach out to & be a part of. It is part of us as human beings. When we create we have a chance to tap into that zone & create from a spiritual place. For me, the Holy Spirit gives me ideas & helps me through hard times. I go to that Spiritual Zone on a regular basis. Thanks again Christine & God Bless_+
Hi Jeremiah! Oh, I like the name "Spiritual Zone"! That's a good one! We are totally on the same page. How lucky we are to have artmaking to get into that zone/place/mindset!
Oooooohhhhh!!! I love that! The video. The ... taking off, becoming lost then found!! Oh wow. What a clip. And to apply that to art?? Wow. Thanks so much Christine. A wonderful start to my day. Happy sigh. Take care beautiful. Catch you next time.
(Loved your version of that art too. The choices we make in colour and line and space, the confidence we bring - it’s all part of that wonderful art experience.)

Thank you, Beth! Love your description of it too... "becoming lost then found". That's a brilliant way of putting it!
