On what could be one of the last warm-enough-to-sit-outside-all-day-Sundays of the year, I was hanging out in Canon Hill with the Sunday Sessions massive watching the world go by, and drawn like a bee to honey by all the lotus flowers adorning the lovely Jessies body. The lotus flower has become one of my favourite symbols on my quest to find and fall in love with my true self. Growing from dark depths, where the mud that is deep and sticky. Somewhere most would call dirty and dark. And yet, despite its muddy origins, it is one of the most beautiful, and intricate flowers to be found. It is obvious why this symbol of beauty from dirt symbolises the spiritual journey. The spiritual journey which is rarely smooth, and the greatest lessons come from the deepest pain. As usual I am living my beautilicious body art dreams through other people's courage and high pain As she strolled along with her family on Sunday, I was feeling slightly introvert and didn't particularly feel like talking to anyone, especially not approaching a stranger to ask if can photograph her body. However, thanks to a few nudges from my angels, I literally chased her down, iPhone in hand and am glad I did. I love meeting new people, and pushing myself to step outside of my comfort zone, especially when I really don't feel like it. It's at those times when I am super blessed by the interactions I have. The tattoo on her back of a beautiful woman was done by someone with a special interest in Neil Diamond songs, she did this as a Vistula representation of Play Me The lyrics of which are actually quite deep. Who knew Neil was so profound? Not me! The art I could see on Jessie's body is some of the nicest I've seen for a while. As always, makes me want to have more of my own done, but not enough to endure that level of pain. So I'll continue to document my desires in this way instead. #BodyArt #beauty #NeilDiamond #HappyDays #ar4h #peace #silence #tolerance #kindness #peace #CanonHillPark #SundaySessions
