I’ve always held a sense of knowing. As I grow older my psychic vibrations exponentially expand in accordance with quantum entanglement between myself and the people in my life that are the closest to my heart center. Two in particular who know who they are that I won’t mention here in order to protect their identities. Some of my earlier inner knowings occurred around my artwork, specifically art that I created while I was attending the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy track at Skyland Trail in Atlanta, Georgia from June 2009–February 2010.
During process art therapy I tended to embrace what some call as auto-writing or auto-drawing. Basically I let my mind run free and remove my mind from the equation as I allow my hands to sketch freely without making judgments and corrections as I reveal the image on the paper. Think of it as closing your eyes while in creation mode. Removing one’s sight elevates our other senses. One day while enjoying Susie’s art therapy class I drew what I titled “The Keystone.” I drew what you see below from a Doctor Seuss book I had not only never read, I had never heard of or seen before.
My rendition was uncanny as Susie noted in this book that was gifted to me by my Skyland family upon graduation. Some say that the staff saw my drawing and then gifted me this book seeing the tie-in. While others like myself and Susie knew that it was not planned nor any sort of coincidence. If you know me by now I don’t believe in them. Everything is connected. Leonardo da Vinci taught us that. All we need to do is train ourselves to learn to truly see beyond the confined borders of our terrestrial existence. This energy is all around us. It permeates everything.
“Dear David, here you are making the leap to the Keystone you drew in your last process art piece. You GO, MAN! God bless you always. Love, Susie”
