30/30, day 4
Shifting landscapes form, spread, and take shape before me. As I watch myself, tracing lines that lead from thought to thought, I try to make sense of this terrain that is me. I am not what I thought I knew. These landscapes confuse me, as I create lines in an attempt to map that which I am; viewing the land in which I am lost.
As I paint, no land was in mind. As my mind grows quiet, and marks more confident, I am surprised to find the terrain take form on this paper. I did not realize this until it was complete. As this skill expands, much to my delight, so does the view of myself.
I don't think this internal terrain will ever be mapped. I think it will remain, in many ways, unknown.
