“If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.” ― Joseph Campbell

Hi Gogo

I’ve always like that quote. I suspect bliss may be related to a dream yet is not the same thing as a dream. So yes always follow your bliss even when your not sure what it is. That is not a paradox as bliss isn’t about knowing. I feel it involves being open and engaged in life as it shows up.

Its important to be able to discern when a dream becomes a fantasy and when it can become a direction to explore. As a artist nothing we experience is lost. The intention as you open your self to life as it shows up is to explore without attachment which is often control and trying to force things. Follow your bliss is following ones dream without attachment. In  this way you put yourself in a possion to respond creatively with what shows up.

I wonder if you used your art as your medium to express what your feeling what might show up. It might be interesting to see where it might lead you.  Are you open to the idea of symbolic language? Are you able to look through the words or the technique of art to what the words and images might  point to. In Art there are no mistakes. Even commercial art reveals the artist and society.
