Photos by the Canadian ArtistGregory Colbert
Dear friend...I dare to present you this beautiful message of the author
Joseph Newton...In addition to a small but wonderful compilation of photos by the
worldwide famous Canadian photographer and filmmaker...Gregory Colbert.
I’d like you to learn something of his extensive artwork of
photography.“When I started “Ashes and Snow” in 1992, my intention was to explore
the relation between humans and animals from the inside out”...“Gregory Colbert”
Do you have the habit of collecting useless objectsthinking that one day... (you don’t know when)
... you will need them?
Do you have the habit of collecting moneyjust for not spening it because you thinkthat in the future you might lack of it?
Do you have the habit of keeping cloth, shoes, furniture, domestic items and other stuff that you are not using since long?
And inside of you...?
Do you have the habit of keeping scrap,resentment, sadness, fear and that sort of thing?
Don’t ever do that!It’s against your prosperity!
It’s necessary to leave a space, an emptiness,for new things to come to your life.
It’s necessary that you get rid of all useless stuff that’s in your life,for the prosperity to come to you.
The power of this emptiness is what absorbes and attractseverything you want.
While you are materially and emotionallycharged with old and useless feelings
you’ll have no space for new opportunities.
Possessions and wealth need to circle...Clean out the cases and drawers, the closets, the tools room, the garage...
Donate everything you’re not using now...
The attitude of keeping a heap of useless thingsonly chains your life.
It’s not the kept things that stall your life...
... but the attitude of keeping!
If you keep things, you considerthe possibility of need, of deprivation...
You think that tomorrow you might lack of thingsand that you will have no way to cover those needs...
With this idea in mind you’re sending outtwo messages to your brain and to your life:
a) That you don’t trust in tomorrow...
That’s why you enjoy keeping old and useless things.
Get rid of what has lost its color and shine...
Let the new get into your house... and into yourself ...
Amen...
