recent life

 

random life: Had a good time working with artists today. Commuted with my bicycle which is all decorated up for the parades and I just keep it like that all year round....and my bicycle helmet too....and everyone asked me why my bicycle helmet is like that so I like to spread the joy and spread the color when I drive in my rhinestone art car and wear my bike helmet and my hand painted shoes etc they told me today the world needs more of that the world needs more color and fun and playfulness and creativity and people experimenting and trying new things for fun... And my heart goes out to anyone who is being told that they can't do certain things that are just normal and I'm really grateful that I have the freedom to do the things that I did today and that I am doing right now

Follow your heart and soul if you want....that's what I love doing

i am listening to 8 hours of testimony that is BANNED on most media outlets. won't be sharing here just stating my ANGER about the DENIAL on certain things happening in the world. gaslighting and scapegoating is NASTY.

Elephantes in the room elefantes in the room elefantes in the room!!!! Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!!!! Run Toto Run!!!

obsessed with this song. Beach House - Somewhere Tonight

thank you beach house and cut worms. two new to me bands i love the music of.

I'm learning a lot about the human psychology of certain situations some people just act as if everything is normal -even if it actually makes no sense but when anyone who disagrees is shame for an ostracized for it a majority of people seem to just then go along and think well it must be normal to go along with thisand everything makes sense and just go along with certain things other people sneak around and learn how to be fake other people fight out in the open and I guess other people just leave the whole situation and go somewhere else completely off grid there's at least four different choices

Enjoy life while you can your freedoms could be taken away very quickly if certain people decide so

what i think about "beach house: thank your lucky stars" album: this record is a masterpiece. i found this randomly at the public library and fell in love with it. every song hypnotizes me into a trance of inspiration. i love this album so much. every song is a gem. i am very picky about music and this one hooked me from the first listen. i play this over and over and over in my car. the melodies are so well crafted.

So grateful that we have so many nature trails in Seattle and that I can walk to a few of them.

Trust your instincts as a phrase that comes to mind right now for me

My favorite thing about my self-portraits when people appreciate them is that I know that I don't have to get permission from the photographer cuz I'm the model and the photographer so I give myself permission to share and publish etc I don't have to worry about somebody not wanting me to publish something because I give myself permission to publish me it's nice and simple that way!

So much life material to write poetry... secret code about ...accumulating big time

forgot how much i love these 2 songs: Butthole Surfers - Pepper, Beastie Boys - So What'Cha Want!

took 3200 photos recently and now backing up on my computer just in case!

I remember in an interview Tom Petty saying that when he would do a show sometimes he would end up when he went back to his hotel room just pacing around the room till 5:00 a.m. because he was so charged up on adrenaline from performing in front of the audience that's pretty intense

I get it now some people don't understand vibes... they don't understand intuitive feeling and vibes especially in music.... It's not about how complicated or simple a song is it's about the feeling and the vibe and sometimes you can just play three notes and it could be more powerful than the most complicated symphony you've ever heard.... Some good music is complicated some good music is simple and everything in between and vice versa.... which explains why some people don't like this sound and yet people like me love this dreamy sound... very inspired by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.... very inspired by Neil Young and crazy horse very inspired by beach house the band inspired by Mazzy Star, cowboy junkies and Jesse Sykes and Rafe Pearlman in so many other musicians and Tori Amos etc and Beck and so many other people....

I will always believe in the magic of synchronicity and Serendipity and spiritual awareness and psychic intuition etc. And the creative imagination and the power of thought and the power of how we're all connected and we all affect each other in positive and negative ways depending on how we use our energy I believe in energy and manifesting and all kinds of stuff and I feel like there's people out there promoting this view that dismisses all of what I just said and I am not going to let anyone dampen my spirit and take away my inspiration that comes from within and it comes from nature and what I would call a spiritual awareness. All the great songwriters that I love seem to channel their music from something beyond themselves and I would consider that kind of a spiritual thing that they're doing combining their own mind and imagination and body heart and soul with something beyond themselves invisible energy that's what I would call it and some of my best poems that I've ever written in my improvisational art is all kind of channeled from some kind of spiritual energy that's kind of how I feel about it and I'm going to learn how to get better at just ignoring anybody who laughs at that kind of statement because it's an inspired statement and I'm sticking with it it's from my heart and soul and I resonate with people who resonate with this

homeostasis

 sending good wishes to all for health and well being. so much polarity and conflict in the world now. very challenging time. and yet harmony still exists and nature still tries for (hō′mē-ō-stā′sĭs) " The tendency of an organism or cell to regulate the chemical processes that take place internally so as to maintain health and functioning, regardless of outside conditions. The ability to maintain a steady body temperature is an example of homeostasis."

friends with a spider

 I think I made friends with the spider that lives in my bathroom and I trained it!  There's two daddy long legs that live in my bathroom right now and I don't mind if they stay out of my way. I stay out of their way and they're usually up on the ceiling and the last few days one of them has been low down in the shower and I don't want it to accidentally drown so I've been taking a cup and sort of gently pushing it up the wall so that it stays near the ceiling. And today I was going to take a shower and it was down in the shower area again and I set out loud okay Spidey you need to move up to the ceiling and I swear to God it started moving up to the ceiling so I think it. I think it just knew that I was in there and it remembered that twice I moved it back up to the ceiling. So this time that spider knows... the spider is smart enough to know it needs to crawl up to the ceiling!

Spreading Inspiration! Kring-spiration! by Shannon Nicole Kringen

My favorite response is when people tell me they're inspired by my multimedia artwork cuz some people think of me in a critical way and they accuse me of being a narcissist cuz I'm so into My self-portraits and my eccentric way of making my art which is a bummer but people are entitled to their opinion but my favorite is when people say they're inspired by my art to paint their face paint their shoes decorate their car do something fun and playful whatever it is singing dancing acting painting I love to inspire people that is my favorite thing because I love playing around with multimedia and I like mostly working by myself my best art seems to be made when I'm by myself because I'm just more comfortable when I'm by myself although I have enjoyed working with other people over the years! But my favorite way of inspiring people is to work solo and share my work and then people enjoy what I do and then they do their own creative thing which I think is really cool and we can empower each other doing that instead of just being spectators in life we can participate and do creative fun things express ourselves that is part of my mission on this planet since I never got married or had kids I feel like my mission is to do creative things that I love and share it with others and hope to inspire other people to do whatever it is they love. And I love nature plants and animals..

refreshed by what jewel said that is beyond the duality and polarity and...

https://www.youtube.com/user/shannonkringen

 https://www.youtube.com/user/shannonkringen

beyond duality

 We can have strong opinions about something and still have empathy and compassion for the two main sides something being argued about in the media. Beyond duality or non-duality that's partly what this is... the concept of that. Musician jewel just did a video about this and I agree with most of what she said it's a 45 minute video and I didn't listen to all of it but I like people who are brave enough to speak out about empathy and compassion and mental health and how important debate and free speech is and we can have empathy and compassion and not take sides we can appreciate different facets although you have to be careful what you say these days-. What you don't say is just as important as what you do say just like in music the notes that they play are important but also the silence between the notes is important... I have some critical and concerned and angry thoughts and feelings that I'm not going to share here.... and I listened to a 5-hour video that is published on a platform that allows full free speech of medical professionals speaking for 5 hours and I listened to the entire 5 hours... although I broke it up into three chunks because that's a long video but all these medical professionals sat in a room together with microphones and stated their credentials and talked with a senator open to hearing their experiences and they videotaped the whole thing and recorded everything. But it's disturbing to think that I'm not allowed to share that here because this footage is not allowed everywhere and people gossip about things without really checking it out for sure to know what's correct and what's incorrect and it seems to be that's the war going on right now it's like psychological warfare of people arguing about what's correct and what's incorrect and it's like we're not allowed to debate it... we're supposed to just conform to one certain way of looking at everything and I believe in staying open and flexible and questioning things and quite honestly I have to keep a lot of secrets just to navigate everything in the world right now but privacy is a good thing so I guess I'm learning to have stronger boundaries with the world around me.

group think? nope

 A perpetual state of emergency? no. And the next phase has to do with the Earth and being told a more specific script of what we should and should not do or what we can and cannot do blah blah blah you do the math most people though won't do the math they'll just go along with being trained like a parrot and a monkey in a circus show I'll probably delete this post cuz it's a little too angry and not going to help me or anyone but how could somebody not be angry when you see the abuse of power and the scapegoating in the gaslighting!? But maybe that's the carrot in the stick in the trap maybe to transcend and not be angry and still focus on love and life and real valuable life is a radical Act. Individuality and personal responsibility etc. Instead of groupthink conformity and shaming blah blah blah

Shannon Kringen Creative Taoist Photographer

 here is an essay i wrote a few years back while finishing my BA degree in seattle:
Shannon Kringen
Creative Taoist Photographer . The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology. Volume 28 Number 2, 1996 Characteristics of the Taoist Sage in the Chuang-tzu and the creative photographerby Philippe L Gross & S.I. Shapiro page 175
I am a photographer and I see it as a spiritual practice that keeps my mind fresh, alive and in the present moment. (if I applied this to my whole life I would be much more fully alive and free to learn,grow,heal, self actualize)
The article talks about using photography in the classroom as facilitating transpersonal vision. The characteristics of the Sage are sometimes echoed by statements in the photography literature of creative photography. Some of the sage characteristics shared with photography are: freedom from the sense of self, receptivity, spontaneity, acceptance, non-attachment, resourcefulness, free and easy wandering and “wu-wei” (an important concept in Taoism that literally means non-action or non-doing) for example: “As trees grow, they simply grow without trying to grow “
In creative photography (which I would call “improvisationally wandering with your camera and shooting in the present moment and responding spontaneously to what you see, shape,color,light,texture) can be seen as an communion between the self and the environment with no sense of separation.
Photographer Cartier-Bresson said “I am not responsible for my photographs. Photography is not documentation but intuition, a poetic experience. It's drowning yourself, dissolving yourself, then sniff, sniff, sniff—being sensitive to coincidence. You can't go looking for it; you can't want it or you won't get it. First, you must lose yourself, then it happens.”
A Taoist photographer responds in the present moment and lets things happen. The photograph almost takes itself. I fully agree with this most of my best photographs have been done this way. Spontaneously free and open to what is around me. Having never seen that kind of light or shape before. My heart and mind are in love with what I see and I shoot when it feels right. This cannot be planned.
I have had people tell me after seeing my photographs of shapes in water and mud puddles and chrome they now notice things out walking they never saw before. Art can be transformational for people. Flowing with life and not rebelling against it. Accepting what is “pretty and ugly both equally” being “equanimous”. All these spiritual principles are used in creative photography. I will add that this Taoist principles can also be seen in improvisational theatre and drawing and painting, singing, dancing. Especially jazz!
In summary the article states that creative photographers are sometimes conscious of these Taoist principles while they shoot photos and sometimes not. Either way it seems that a natural flow of life directs the action in this kind of photography that mirrors very closely that of Taoist wisdom. http://shannonkringen.com/taoist_photographer.htm

wild feral human, play in mud puddles

 

random sloppy ideas- wild feral human

play in the mud puddles

Edit- here's my imperfect post with flaws in it and typos in it that I'm not going to fix cuz I don't want to be perfect and I don't want to correct myself I want to be sloppy and messy and imperfect and make mistakes and not always be correct!!!! Makes me want to listen to Bukowski I think I'm on a similar wavelength or Tom Waits etc- or Leonard Cohen who said that the cracks are how the light gets through or whatever that quote is from one of his songs that I love! Rebel rebel!!! Just watched a video on how trends and artificial intelligence and algorithms have a artificially kind of addicted to patterns and trends and disconnected from our real selves and from real human connection and from real things of actual value despite all the fake silliness and trends online that I'm not interested in there are still creative authentic humans that are expressing themselves making art and music and sharing real things that have value also just judging things as having value and not having value and people are keeping score blah blah blah people are addicted to blah blah blah I think I'm going to stop clicking like and stop clicking in general and just try to share in a more handmade way if possible and not get sucked into arguing or debating or doing anything that seems just like BS and just like a waste of time I might even delete this post I think that the best way for me to use these social media websites is just to share artwork and creative ideas. I don't want to waste time debating or arguing with anybody and I want to completely ignore people who want to score me and judge me I also don't want to score and judge other people cuz that's a waste for me to do that as well and again I might just delete this post I think it's good to be awake and conscious of how you're using technology and how much is technology using you just to collect data and market and sell ideas to you and try to get you to March around and conform and behave like a robot doing as you're told thinking you have free will but really just conforming to what their programming you to want to think and do and feel with computer ideas and popular trends and this idea of conform conform conform obey obey obey basically March to the meat grinder like in that movie pink Floyd The Wall which is very relevant these days

Avoid trends and be unpopular intentionally!

Light up that gas!

Retreat go within. A treat

 Retreat go within. A treat

ideas of now

 i resonate with this video BIG TIME. "The Priceless Benefits of Not Belonging"  https://youtu.be/mDGOZWp5iGk

Totally love that video "the priceless benefits of not belonging".  and I resonate with every point that  guy is making.   I totally identify with enjoying the freedom of being an individual and questioning everything.  I also tend to see every single person I meet as an individual instead of lumping them into some category and stereotype of who they are or who they are not... I've always been this way since I was like a little tiny kid and even more so now with things happening in the world the way they are in this like pressure to conform to things that I just don't believe I want to conform to.  People think and tribal ways and want to copy and conform to each other and yeah I follow certain rules but mostly I like to express my individuality as much as I can and when I noticed other people I tend to notice what makes them unique and different that's what I'm attracted to is what is unique and different... I guess people just want to feel safe and put things into categories but I think it's really artificial the way we categorize things and separate things everything is unique and individual and we're all creating this together I've always been somebody who wanted to question everything and not just go along with things...

This is a bit of a soap box but I'm really sad to see that there are many dogs and cats that are completely addicted to pet food that has wheat gluten in it  and all kinds of other fillers and synthetic things and carbohydrates that are not good for dogs and cats health and it lacks the actual protein and nutrients that they actually synthetic things in a can etc....which is the worst thing that a dog or cat could eat for their health and then people take their pets to the vet who prescribe medication for them instead of improving the pet's diet the medications may or may not actually help the pet it's really sad to see dogs and cats suffer because they're not getting the proper nutrition that they need that's the most important thing for both humans and dogs and cats is really really good nutrition and fresh air exercise enough sleep enough hydration good clean water etc health is something that I'm very interested in and our healthcare system is not really about health it's mostly about chemicals and avoiding talking about proper nutrition or even giving people the wrong information about nutrition but I'm not going to say what I believe is healthy here because I don't want to argue with anybody but let's just say that me and my cat I think are on very healthy nutritious diets. And I choose what I eat and I don't listen to someone else boss me around about it.  My cat is on a mostly raw meat nutritionally balanced diet for all cats life stages that I get at the health food pet store so I feed my cat very carefully but he's not on any medications and he's 15 years old and he's doing well he's an older cat but he's doing well he gets fresh air everyday and exercise and really healthy food and I never feed him any junk food.  A lot of the mainstream pet food that people feed their dogs and cats is kind of like the equivalent of humans eating fast food and Twinkies etc... I'm lucky that my cat switch to a raw meat diet with an easy transition most dogs and cats are very picky and it's hard to switch their food but my cat went right along with the raw meat diet.  Basically I keep his food in the freezer and I just thaw it out as needed to keep it fresh... it's kind of high maintenance but I love making sure my cat is healthy and his digestion is really good his pee and his poop is really healthy.... What I when I had him on a not as good of a diet he had like loose stool and kind of gross things happening in his Kitty box I never since I switched him to a raw meat diet his poops have been a really nice medium brown to dark brown color and they're just the right texture sorry if this gross is anybody out but his texture his I mean sorry his digestion is very very good and it's been that way ever since I switched him to a raw meat diet for cats.  I also have really good digestion but I won't go into detail on that.  And I'll say that I don't need to take my cat to the vet hardly ever and I haven't for the last two or three years because he hasn't needed anything he's just been eating properly and I just give him lots and lots of love and affection and attention and he doesn't seem to need any veterinary care so far.

What would Goddess KRING teach?

asking myself how my videos could be useful to others in terms of "teaching" something i know. art modeling, painting onto wearable art, creative spontaneous well crafted photos in the moment? color and composition, the rules of abstract art that is well composed, how to live frugal in a city like seattle where i live that is pricey and yet i do it well. i am 53 now and have lots of wisdom- building on that. open to your suggestions. just email me with questions or comments. http://www.shannonkringen.com/ https://www.patreon.com/goddesskring https://www.instagram.com/goddesskring/

I have a cat that has a special diet and I feed him very carefully so I'm also good at feeding pets special diets and it careful way or giving the medications as needed

Full length interview with Tori Amos

gorgeous tori amos interview. makes me cry. such a sensitive soul she is. kinship felt.

hire me to pet sit during the holidays!

 I love animals so much!!! Pet sitting- There's two sites where I post free ads... my friend said I should probably do it every single day for pet sitting during the holidays... I want everyone near Seattle to know that I'm available to take care of cats and dogs and really any pets if you teach me how to do it during the holidays... I have zero family plans during any of the holidays Thanksgiving Christmas and New years... I have no plans at all... so I'm totally available to take care of pets or house sit for somebody that's going on a trip and wants their house to be safe and secure... I have six references from people that I've worked with before and they can verify that I'm a good trustworthy person just ask...

recent thoughts

 just added 29 new photos to my members only site! video coming tomorrow

Just did a fun photo shoot.... modeled for myself basically for one of my members only websites total freedom to express myself!

Also what you believe about what is true and what is false affects the results of what happens to some extent reality is a bit flexible and it's not set in stone this could be good and bad there's the placebo effect and the nocebo effect.

Keep sharing don't expect anyone to validate you just know that you are valid yourself

Extreme dogma in science is not legitimate or ethical science.   especially when there's a profit motive and money involved... and large corporations sponsoring certain ideas and agendas.  A lot of what they call science now is simply marketing of ideas doesn't mean it's true or false it means that it's marketing ideas

I need to stop expecting anyone to validate me and I need to stop expecting to get permission to be who I am.  I have to just be myself even if that means mostly leading a very solitary life

Okay so now back to constructive action in creating content for my members only websites

And now we get manipulated by fake whistleblowers so that the people in charge of what's allowed in the media and social websites can trick us into more censorship for our own safety and our own good!  Good marketing strategy very effective very manipulative and very persuasive and effective.  Most people don't see beyond that

And it's now virtuous to censor yourself and not question authority!   that's not a virtue.... not a virtue... not a virtue and not a sign of intelligence either.  To be encouraged to have no critical thought is really really not wise.  We are going backwards as human beings on this planet

I recently rewatched the movie Erin Brockovich about how large corporations lie to the public about the safety of what they do.... Because of their ego they don't like to admit they're wrong and they just want money and power and that's all they really care about and people love to just deny the reality of the harm they do in the name of making money.... I like watching that movie because it gives me the illusion that things can get better and more ethical but the reality of the current life on earth now is we're going backwards and corporations are continuing to do hideous things that harm people and they lie about it and I'm witnessing it and I'm supposed to go along with it and pretend like it's good for my health no thanks!

People apparently just want to conform because they want things to get back to normal not realizing there is no normal that we're going back to

serendipity

 Just reading a friend's post about the synchronicity that he had happened to him involving his car breaking down and his family needing help and then things miraculously working out after some complicated irritating hardness and then people coming together and helping each other in an amazing way I'm also noting that in my own life some doors are shutting and some other doors are opening and some of the opportunities I've had in my career that has shifted recently has been pretty amazing synchronicity of my love for animals and my art modeling and my volunteering work all intersecting and kind of an amazing way and other things that I don't even want to talk about but things are simultaneously actually quite painful and sad and then also quite wonderful and I can feel this loving energy and the goodness of being alive even though I also feel this dark creepy Sinister energy I also feel this wonderful loving helpful energy that is very life-affirming so again doors are shutting but then new doors are opening!!!!

current ideas from a free thinker named shannon nicole kringen

Took gorgeous morning walk.  So thankful for the sunshine and smell of plants and beautiful nature that I am deeply connected to.  Determined to focus on this life affirming energy while noticing the darkness. I'm consciously choosing to build up what I want more of being present with all that is here now.  Letting go of fear and anger and using it as fertilizer

Grateful my mom put me an alternative school where they actually encouraged us to learn Hands-On in the real world and they encouraged our creativity and individuality and gave us the power to create what we wanted instead of just indoctrinating us with dogma

just to vent more truth out:  both my mom and dad did some AMAZING THINGS for me as a kid and some bad things BOTH it was complicated.  both my mom and dad are highly sensitive insightful intuitive intelligent human beings just like me.  i was raised in some very good ways and some bad ways BOTH. NOT just one way or the other.  both parents are great humans and they made mistakes in how they raised me both very strongly.  in some ways they did amazing with me and i am very lucky on those levels and i can learn from my wounds BOTH.  the glass is both 1/2 empty AND 1/2 full! ha ha

animals i care for

 

I'm helping take care of three cats and two dogs right now and I love all these animals but I admit it's nice to kind of just focus on my cat for a little while right now while I juggle taking care of all the other animals

If you like acrobatic performance and you like fun old-timey tuba horns piano drums funky music and slapstick comedy you will love it. There's a cast of seven and they all have really good comedic timing and they're all really good performers and really nice people. A true blessing to humanity...

current thoughts

 enjoying the self censorship training? ha ha not me but finding creative ways to stay authentic

Grazing animals fertilize the earth when they're rotated through crops or land areas  in the proper way... By not overgrazing them and not undergrazing them rotating them Allan Savory talks about this and there's a huge farm that does this in Georgia called White Oak pastures I really admire these people.


Allan Savory Presenting at Harvard Law School
https://youtu.be/aFAEq6mCtL4

a video of a talk that he did in comments....Just rediscovered a guy named Allan Savory he's from Zimbabwe and he has a whole philosophy about how we can regreenify the Earth and slow down the desertification of the Earth and it's through using livestock to fertilize the Earth and we greenify it he's an ecologist and a livestock farmer and more and I agree with his ideas instead of thinking everyone should stop eating animals you should use plants and animals in a different way the way nature works best which is to regenerate the soil through regenerative agriculture etc it's very multifaceted and it makes a lot of sense to me and it's completely different than how we do both plant and animal agriculture right now with mono crops and hideous chemicals etc this is going back to Nature and back to working with nature in the way that it naturally works its best which is manure plants animals the whole ecosystem rotating the crops the diversity the micro organisms etc he's done countless lectures online on video I'm listening to one right now

A word is dead when it is said some say,. I say it just begins to live that day.... Emily Dickinson

I used to watch The Carol Burnett show growing up a very funny comedy show for those of you who don't know and one of the acrobats that performs with the up up up incorporated circus crane show is so funny.... Her facial expressions are really exaggerated and over the top slapstick comedy humor mixed with fun funky live music that they sing and perform mixed with their really really high quality skills as acrobats they are really talented!  Just some other humor is really goofy slapstick humor and their facial expressions are really dramatic and one acrobatic performer in particular reminds me of Carol Burnett she's very funny she is amazing comedic timing or whatever you call it.... And again they perform this Saturday July 31st 7pm  in Seattle at the equinox studios in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle that's sort of the industrial part of town near 4th Avenue South.  All of the performers male and female are quite talented there was just one in particular and I don't know her name but she reminded me of Carol Burnett in terms of her comedic timing and her facial expressions and she's also a very good acrobat spinning and doing beautiful graceful routines hanging from the crane it's pretty great and a bunch of the performers are great they're all great really there's men and women and they're all a little bit different and funny and seriously good athletic acrobatic artistic performers the show is really multifaceted.  The show is free and then you donate what you want at the end

here's one of the few photos I took with my phone I have some better pictures I took with my other camera.... I just haven't had the energy to upload them yet but this Saturday I'm planned to do better photos and videos of these performers and share they are really really talented performers and their show is very funny and uplifting and cheerful!  this Saturday night July 31st at 7:00 p.m. in Seattle's Georgetown equinox studios- I highly recommend this to my Seattle art loving friends:  the  up up up show is amazing!   I saw it a few days ago in Everett with Jason Webley opening for them... it's great.   I plan to be there I might make some videos of it!

 one of my wounds from childhood is feeling ashamed i was even born.  thats pretty awful and it's reared its head again recently.  just did a video monologue about it which helped me feel better and more "valid" in my own skin

childhood neglect is invisible but it's still having an effect on me.  wish i had a higher self esteem and it's not helpful when others accuse me of being too 'into myself'  i feel like i ABANDON myself and this triggers anger. but mainly it's ME that is mean to me! and thinks it's "selfish" to do self care etc. and put me first.

solitude!

 

solitude appreciated

Wondering if I’m just one of those people that needs a lot of solitude and just prefer Solitude or can I learn how to be with other people and feel more spacious with that other person like the boundaries are strong and I’m intact within myself because what I tend to feel like is a chameleon that is supposed to adapt to whoever the person I’m with is and I find this draining and I don’t know if that’s the other person’s that I hang out with that want me to do that or am I just choosing to be this way because I think I have to?  Like I want to take responsibility for myself care and have healthy boundaries with my friends but I know that it’s not always just me sometimes at the other person has boundary issues so it can’t always just be me so I want to figure out what’s healthy and then do more of that

create freely with an open mind if you want.

 create freely with an open mind if you want.

Someone else's post triggered me into saying this.. it seems like there's all kinds of weird automated things happening now and we're all being treated like children that need to be told and what opinions to have and  what to do and believe .... it's just creepy!   even when you're trying to leave somebody a comment and websites suggest comments that you can click on and it automatically types them for you... sort of discouraging people from using their own creativity and choosing their own words.   it's getting kind of weird..... Free speech,  creativity and imagination are not being encouraged.  Apparently  we're all supposed to act like robots and do as we are told!   to the point where I feel like going around saying to people " I am a robot I do as I am told I am a robot I do as I am told!!!!".  Sending good wishes to you and anyone reading this....

 self portrait art photos of shannon kringen available to paint and draw from.  

Very grateful and happy to share that a serious painter I've modeled for paid me for use of this image for a portrait class she is teaching.  What a validating compliment she found this image powerful.  I posted on mother's Day with a short essay on Instagram ....she found it there .... on my grief on this day.  It did not occur to me that this image would be useful for a portrait class!  I'm so pleasantly surprised.  Reminds me to keep expressing and valuing my contribution....

the little essay i wrote with this photo on mothers day that a painter appreciated and wanted to buy rights to use for a portrait class.   this is SO VALIDATING!  thank you to everyone who appreciates my expression- this encourages me to keep healing and helps me feel "connected"  and part of community.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms. I almost became a mom but changed my mind in my twenties and now I'm 52 and I wonder what if but I'll never know so I have to just accept the choices I made that brought me to where I am now. And I've always mostly preferred Solitude anyway so now I guess I get my wish. I'm an only child of divorced parents and I never had kids. But I guess I'm a mom to my cat and my house plants and I'm trying to be a mom to myself. And I always tried to be a mom to my mom because she really didn't have much of a mom.

my own intuitive observation:  on the voyagers movie clip

my own intuitive observation:  on the voyagers movie clip i just saw....seems to me humans are already losing their emotional connections and going the way of chemical bio tech and artificial intelligence and bio hacking human cells etc. creepy stuff really. going away from nature trying to control nature...thinking we need to find a new planet instead of actually regenerating the soil and eco system on  this one is creepy to me.  or thinking we need "chemicals" and to do frankenstein experiments with nature INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY WORKING WITH NATURE is so messed up.  humans do amazing things with "tech" but also do awful things.  BOTH.  i am more trusting of actual nature and biodiversity.  to "out smart" nature and "control it" is not a good idea.  but the wealthiest most powerful humans seem to want to go this way- this ties in with athiesm verses belief in "god" .  personally I AM NOT RELIGIOUS BUT I AM ALSO NOT AN ATHIEST.  TO ME NATURE IS THE CREATIVE FORCE THAT MAKES THIS UNIVERSE and humans are part of that.  i think it's very cartoon like to think you are either "religious" and believe or "superstition" or you are athiest and believe we can control nature and dominate it- and act as if science is LINEAR and computer generated math models of "reality" predict EXACT SCIENCE they are predictions not cut and dry answers that are solid.  i think albert einstein talked about the order AND chaos and how both are true not just one or the other.  there is mystery even in science.  it's not black and white.  listen to quantum physics ideas.  "Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very differently to macroscopic matter: particles can behave like waves, and waves behave as though they are particles"  not sure how to fully explain my point but i am very intuitive and on a certain wave length that sees through the bullshit....and we humans are very powerful at "creating" different realities and working with BOTH order and CHAOS.

always question what you are told

 I love questioning and being open minded. The improv life is my style. Secret code speak is needed more and more since the popular trend now is rigid adherence to a script we are taught on many things. Sending good wishes to all whether you agree with me or not. Life on Earth is pretty fascinating and changes every second of every day
