mapping internal lands mask by shannon kringen


 mapping internal lands mask by shannon kringen

new style of kring masks.  "flat"  the other ones were "pleated"  its fun wearing my aRt on my face when i am required to "cover up"  this design is called "mapping internal lands"  it looks great on the mask i think!  these are hand washable and dry quickly.  i wear once then wash daily with non toxic unscented soap personally! if you want to buy one let me know! the company that prints my designs on these raised their prices so i need to also raise my price... http://www.shannonkringen.com/facemasks.htm

juice of life! heart melting times

 juice of life!  heart melting times

had a very heart melting therapy session- many blessings to my therapist!  he is very gifted.

talked about my cacophony of emotions and the "symphony" in my head surrounding my personal issues with family/friends how i connect with others and how i connect with myself- the paradox of "shannon takes 100's of self portraits and must be 'self centered' in a shameful way"  and yet shannon is lost in the forest of trees.  if each person is a tree and we are all in the forest together can we see each unique person as having value and being distinct from the others and not just there to serve others.  we are all here together forming patterns of energy with each other...i felt dominated by my parents points of view as a kid and like my job was to make sure they were ok so i could be ok.  i seemed to have suppressed my true nature and full expression i wanted to share with the world...my artwork seems to be here to help me EXPRESS outward what would remain hidden- makes perfect sense why the songs "silent all these years" by tori amos and "refugee" by tom petty and the heartbreakers would be my two favorite songs that resonate and help me ease the pain i have around my issues.

and yesterday i met with a lady in person who i had known online for a couple years.   we both danced many years ago at "the lusty lady" in seattle.  she's an artist and has done stand up comedy- a very dynamic interesting human being!  i was happy to connect with her in person...we shared a hug after hanging out for 5 hours talking and sharing food...very grateful.  would love to have more close female friends to connect with...

personal POWER.  love this new song by edie brickell and new bohemians:  my power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAO9u7PstUs

inspired by this:  "Microorganisms digest organic matter, and in the process they provide nutrients to plants, and improve the structure of the soil. ... When this is done properly, plants grow well and soil is improved. There is no question that microbes are important to the gardener, the plants and the soil"

Thinking of trying to find a new way of being maybe work on a regenerative agriculture farm!  And when I say farm I mean both animals and plants

Yay my dad's flying to Seattle to visit me in April I'm excited haven't seen him in over two years!

Inspired to talk about the personality of artists on my next free range goddess kring public radio show a lot of artists share really beautiful music and lyrics and melodies and yet their personalities might be kind of macho or Moody and not really very nice or friendly and they might cause a lot of weird drama in their personal life and yet their contribution to humanity mostly comes through in a beautiful way through their music watching the Gordon Lightfoot documentary made me realize and reminded me of this because he had a drinking problem and he's a pretty moody guy and had a lot of relationships that didn't work out and he admitted he caused trauma to some of the people in his life and his past and he feels guilty and bad about it and yet his music is great and that was his main contribution even when his personal life wasn't going well now he seems a lot happier as an older person and he's still doing his music and he sleeps much more kind and peaceful and healthy mentally and physically very interesting and a lot of the artists that I admire I've heard different things about their personalities like their persona that they share with the audience versus their real personalities to people who know them and it's interesting sometimes it matches and sometimes it's different it kind of fascinates me the psychology of different people

just watch the documentary about Gordon Lightfoot very interesting because my whole childhood was filled with Gordon Lightfoot music because my dad was really obsessed with Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot Simon and Garfunkel and all kinds of other folk music also loved Elvis and Frank Sinatra Peter Paul and Mary the doors and Joan Baez etc and lots of rock and roll in the Rolling stones and all kinds of great music one of the memories I have is riding on the back of my dad's bicycle with him to pizza hut and Pacific beach San Diego and there was a jukebox in there and he would play the song by Gordon Lightfoot called too late for praying and he would play Everly Brothers music and then I think there was quarters in little TVs and we would watch Archie bunker on little TVs and the pizza hut what an interesting random memory that just popped into my head when my dad mentioned it and I saw the Gordon Lightfoot documentary my dad is sad that in that documentary they don't even mention the song by Gordon called too late for praying one of my dad's favorite songs and he thinks he's very underrated but not a hit for Gordon great song though a lot of Gordon Lightfoot songs are brilliant actually

had a really good creative writing session today with my friends...I'm  really grateful and I found an amazing parking spot right across the street which usually doesn't happen for free and I shared a bunch of groceries with them and then put the rest in the lobby where there's a free box so that felt really good and I just went for a nice walk

favorite singers-  tori amos, tom petty and edie brickell.  this could change in my lifetime but so now it's SOLID

would love to hear tori amos cover tom pettys song "good to be king"  that would be unique.  both  tom petty and tori amos sing the word "girl"  in a beautiful emphasized way...they bend  the word girrrrrlllll in a magical vocal style as you know those two are my favorite vocalists (along with edie brickell who also does great unqiue things bending her voice- i listen VERY CAREFULLY to music and hear tiny nuaces)

beautiful solo version of tom petty's "yer so bad"  quite beautifully done! serious and funny at the same time.  love the way he uses his voice SO MUCH.    https://www.instagram.com/p/CLaevP7H0zc/
