As week 2 comes to a close, I am noticing somewhat of an energy inside myself that I can control better. It has to do with the feeling out the space around myself. If I concentrate, I feel like I'm allowing myself to grow larger and fill more space. I feel more open, and more in tune with my body and the world. I do believe in energy and being able to control what positive and negative energy you put out. It's been an interesting week.

CHECK.
Artist's Date:
This week for my artists date I decided to go looking for white candles for the fireplace in my new room. I would like to fill the space with all sorts of shape and sizes of white candles. It isn't a working fireplace, so an actual fire is out of the question, but flames are okay. Unfortunately, I didn't really find any that I love. Who would think that white candles could be specific? Along my way, I ended up stoping off at the Time Warner Center next to Central Park to possibly pick up a new book. There happens to be a Dali exhibit going on, so I checked it out. I've been a fan of his work for a long time and I hadn't expected to see his bronzed masterpieces in such a space. It's sometimes weird to see art outside of artistic places. To see a piece of work that is so creative and beautiful just thrown out into the hustle and bustle of the world. People casually walked around the pieces as if they were nothing and the people that stopped to read about the pieces were in the minority. Usually "art" is set up in an area around other art, where people are quiet and looking to be moved. But, for art to be the stillness in a crowded busy space, it was almost as if the bronzed statues were watching the people. They were no longer the art, but watching the world as a moving painting. Sometimes I feel like an observer; I love watching people, do anything really. I wonder how it would feel to be standing silently, on display, watching people watch you. In truth, maybe that is exactly what we all are.
