“It is not for you to judge the journey of another’s soul. It is for you to decide who you are, not who another has been, or has failed to be.”

— Neale Donald Walsch

“The Ego, however, is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear.”

— Deepak Chopra

“You must forgive those who hurt you, even if whatever they did to you is unforgivable in your mind. You will forgive them not because they deserve to be forgiven, but because you don’t want to suffer and hurt yourself every time you remember what they did to you. It doesn’t matter what others did to you, you are going to forgive them because you don’t want to feel sick all the time. Forgiveness is for your own mental healing. You will forgive because you feel compassion for yourself. Forgiveness is an act of self-love.”

— don Miguel Ruiz

I totally get why you texted me the other night (as I said, I take a lot of the blame) but damn I hate when you reach out...

There are 2 people who have betrayed me more than I ever thought was possible...

I have adapted and am usually very good at leaving those thoughts and the indescribable pain behind and out of my mind...

But, the once in a blue moon, when one of you texts me (regardless of the reason), it all boils back up - I re-live the repeated and deliberate betrail from you[both], my mind races with all the things I want to scream...

...They choak me...

(Should I say them? Write them?...)

Why am I allowing you to affect me?

Why am I allowing you to hurt me AGAIN?

Why am I giving you power?

Why are you doing this to me?

Stop, BOTH OF YOU, PLEASE Stop... you can't see it for whatever reason but you are being soo selfish and cruel... I can't take much more

Don't you claim to love me? Don't you know what I have been going through for these last 2 years? Why do you claim to care about me just to immediately say something that clearly shows you don't give a shit about me???

You both want to blame me for the way things currently are, ignore and/or write off everything I have to say while, also, guilting me into giving you what you want

“I'm trying to think of anything else, but my mind keeps wondering back to last night, and the familiar way our bodies intertwined, and I can’t help but think about how right it felt and how wrong that is…”

“I have never in my life met anyone more spiritual than she; with her wisdom, her kindness, her deep understanding. And at the same time she has a meekness and a tolerance that clutch your heart to the point where it hurts. When I look at her I often feel ashamed of myself. All is vanity of vanities and weariness of spirit.”

— Andrei Tarkovsky, from a diary entry featured in Time Within Time; The Diaries (1970 - 1986)

Quit resisting. Let your pain pierce your hard heart so the agony can flow out and the love can rush in. It’s the love that will bring you back to life. — Bryant McGill

Yellena James’ “Arise” at Stephanie Chefas Projects.

Opening on Friday, March 2nd, 2018 at Stephanie Chefas Projects in Portland, Oregon is artist Yellena James’ solo exhibition entitled “Arise.”

“In my latest collection of work, I continue to explore the alluring imaginary life forms and terrains of my own invention,” states James. “Balancing a bright and colorful palette with rich backgrounds, I trace the origins of these luminescent forms back to the depths from which they emerge and bring them vividly to life. The larger pieces have an inviting and immersive quality to them, while the round panels compliment the delicate organic forms within the ethereal landscape.”

“Arise” will be on view until March 31st, 2018.

Be sure to follow Supersonic Art on Instagram!

الإمام علي عليه السلام: لا تبحث عن باعث لتبغض الناس ، و لا تتبعن عيوب الناس و أصلح نفسك، و أعلمُ إنك تفخر بهذا الاحترام ولكنك لست سوى طينٍ و ماء

“Stop looking for reasons to hate people. Stop focusing on others and fix your own character. I know it makes you proud to have some honor, but you are only mud and water.” -Imam Ali(a.s)
