The Red Balloon – A New Beginning
When I awoke I found myself on another plateau.
Nothing in sight in all directions. But it did not matter. I was different now……somehow.
All my fears had gone. I only felt….JOY!
Why? What had happened to me?
I could not remember anything except for an overpowering thought…….
“EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS WITHIN YOU.”
This seemed to give me peace in a way I had NEVER known.
Then I asked myself …what do I need now? Answer…..I need to leave this place.
So I sat down feeling relaxed and at peace.
A little while later I heard a dull sound in the distance. It was a huge red balloon coming towards me.
And so ended my magnificent journey.
The ending of this journey was indeed……. a New Beginning……. IN EVERY WAY!

About The Journey…… this is an actual journey I am experiencing right now. It began with a painting and I have no idea where it might be leading. The discoveries I am making are REAL but they are coming from my artworks. These are all new artworks and they are REALLY amazing me …. I hope you are enjoying them too.

This is LAST post of The Journey…..Thank you for sharing it with me. Robert
Phewww! happy you made it Robert. Do you know the old French film, The Red Balloon? If not, check it out if you can find it…
John I did see the movie in the 70’s and really enjoyed it. Must try to find it and see it again.
Another memory of red balloons is this one…..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14IRDDnEPR4
99 Red (Luft) Balloons by Nena….a great song.
Actually the red balloon that inspired the post sailed over the Chateau on the morning of the blog. That is a photo of it. There are a few using this area as it is quite picturesque.
Float on…
Floating John…..
I’m absolutely in love with this painting (or is is a photo?). Wow, something just spoke to me when I saw it. Maybe it’s the journey and not the destination that appeals to me from this work of yours.
Kristi…. so pleased it spoke to you. It is a combined painting/photograph. The journey was all that mattered to me….. never knew where it was going next. But I do love the message.
Thanks for stopping by and adding your comment. Robert
Would love to hear more about the journey you have had! Have you written about it on your blog? That’s the scary, yet interesting part, you never know, what’s next. Your art/blog inspire me so much, remind me of possibility of living life differently, unconventional and fun way. So thank you for that Robert!
Kristi, The Journey came early into my blogging and happened without planning, thought or preparation. Each post was fresh and I did not know how it would finish until I was ready to post it. There was only one constant throughout………I was “asking” for guidance all along. It always came and that was a big message of The Journey…….Ask and Ye shall receive!
There were certain internal changes happening in me at the time and I guess The Journey reflected them. So not only was this offered as an inspirational way to live it was somehow real insight and guidance for me too.
No, I have not written about it until now so I thank you most sincerely for your questions.
Best wishes, Robert
