Our Emotional Canvas by Miriam A. Silver

             Emotions are a frequency, an energy that we use to express ourselves on this level of existence. It is a pipeline to the Soul where unspoken information may be transmitted to us directly, giving us a multi leveled understanding of any situation.  Insight that goes deeper than a casual conversation or the superficial language we use here as it never quite gets to the heart of the problem. Our emotions, however, allow us to obtain a deeper, nonverbal understanding.

            Life is about living your own emotional truth. It's about being your truest sense of self every moment, not allowing society or those who hide behind that curtain from the land of Oz to formulate or direct how we should all act. It's a "sin", or an error in thought, in not allowing yourself to freely give voice to what you truly feel because it's been told to you that anything experienced through your emotions cannot be trusted, isn't valid, or has no claim to rational thinking. That one should only move through the day hiding behind false smiles, repeating the mantra - "it's all good" - over and over again just to impress these words into your mind in order to change it. It's not all good. It's not all bad. It just is. We slap on labels and sell it to the public, and people buy it up without reading the long list of unrecognizable ingredients that eventually will poison our souls.

           Listen to that quiet resonating tone deep within. It is the one saving grace we have that keeps us connected to the truest sense of who we are. Let your emotions fly. Let your mind soar. Be who and what you must be. There will be those who will be frightened of you since they have come to believe this is wrong. Seek your kind of freedom and let your true self take flight. These emotions color your reality offering textures and lines that will only form a greater masterpiece in which to live.

         Don't be society's version of you. Be your own!
