a slice of light
sometimes I just need to see that ever so small slice of light
From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
exploring balance and boundaries, works in progress
The push and pull of art and life.
Being uncomfortable can be teacher. Discomfort can be hard to stay with and push against. Learning how to, simply be, is challenging, so I try to work it out with my art work.
Art like life is always a work in progress.
Right there in the uncertainty of everyday chaos is our own wisdom mind – Pema Chödrön
finding my balance by falling down
Sometimes life feels like you are walking on a tightrope over the Grand Canyon without a net.
But what most of us don’t realize including myself, that we’re not that high off the ground. When we fall and we all do, it will hurt. And we have to learn to be with our pain, both of the heart and physical.
Learning how to be on the tightrope is a way to find our internal balance.
Learning from falling so we can find our balance seems a bit counter intuitive.
Life is a balance of letting go and holding on – Rumi
stepping into the unknown
Find the seed at the bottom of your heart and bring forth a flower – Shigenori Kameoka
Going into my studio is a step into not knowing what feelings will come up when I start to create. It’s a willingness to get lost and to feel what comes up.
