Web of love

So, going into this project I had no idea what Luke was talking about. First we needed markers and rulers...then capital letters...and our names..then what we loved. What the hell is this? Web of things we love? Oh that's easy. Then as soon as I put my pencile to the paper I was stumped. I love my family. I never really thought about WHY I loved my family so it got me thinking (which is always a great feeling). And suddenly it all started making sense. What I got out of this mural is that everytime I was coming to an end things started to repeat. Well, why are they repeating? They're repeating becuase those are the things that make me love the things I love. It's what I look for in things or people. What I thought would be really cool for a self-project is get a posterboard and make my own hecktic web of love and see after doing 100 things or so, what repeats the most in my life? I want to know what everything in my life breaks down to. what I found in the web I did today was that I love to be around people and things who RELAX me. wheather it's because they comfort me, let me express myself, support me. All these things bring relaxation to my life and aprently that's something I value very much in my life which is good to know. I also loved when I branched off into other people's webs. In a sence i felt as though I was giving them a piece of me, and they were sharing a piece of themselves with me. There were some empty spaces I notices so as the year progresses I would love if we can add more too it, possibly add color and whatever else helps us define the things that we love.

  1. When you post, you always write something very worthwhile.

    "i felt as though I was giving them a piece of me, and they were sharing a piece of themselves with me"

    Does this bring you peace? And if so, why?

  2. "They're repeating becuase those are the things that make me love the things I love. It's what I look for in things or people."

    It's cool to think that everything we love has been decided for us by some working in our subconscious that evaluates the thing/person without you even knowing it. Like, we may think we love someone or something for 1000 different reasons, but those 1000 things may all really just be the same thing, and while we don't realize it some thing in our body might.

  3. By reading this, you just me me realize something I got out of this project. Everything I wrote that I liked lead me to want to write happy, and then I couldn't think of what would be next. I guess there is always that one thing that makes someone like a person or something, because it puts them in their favorite mood. You love being relaxed and I love being happy. The subconscious mind sure does play a huge part in a person's life.
