Self portrait
At one time my medium was watercolor. This is a self-portrait using only black paint. I love high contrast. Extremes, opposites. I'm all in for the high level of passion and fire. I have spent years learning to discern how far from the edge I can get and still maintain a level of "safety" with full expression. Can you relate? How do you define this line? . . . #watercolor #theedge #extremeselfie #verajohnson #passionatelife #wiltonmaine #highcontrast

Tending
Stops me in my tracks to listen for...nothingness. Perhaps a brook trickling under the snowy bridge or the leaves rustling. Nourishment for my souls restlessness are the textures of peeling birch bark, the crunching sounds of snow underfoot and glorious expansive views. #mainelife #wiltonmaine #walkinthewoods #wideopenspaces

Truth seeking journey
Losing balance for love, is part of living a balanced life ❤ The physics of the quest: A force in nature, governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting: house, bitter resentment... And set out on a truth seeking journey either externally or internally And if you're truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue... And if you accept everyone you meet along the way as

Be who you are, not who they say you are
I once rode in a car with a man who had recently been released from spending 25 years in prison falsely accused of murder. At the age of 17. He'd never even carved a freaking pumpkin on Halloween! He was finally Exonerated from death row, because he continued to study law, staying true to his knowledge of being innocent. One day, a detail in the daily paper proved his case. I asked him...how did you do it? His response.... I made the decision to be WHO I AM, not WHO THEY s
