I'm trying to catch up with The Lotus and the Lily posts, the desk-hopping of WOYWW and the new art e-course I'm doing (those posts are all under the new Unearth page tab at the top of the blog)...
The main thing I wanted to share from my daily readings this week has crystallized in the art play-making I had this morning...
Making random marks on the page, messing around with the messy charcoal and smudging everything with my fingers (I so wish I had two usable hands just to be able to take a photo of my left hand after I'd finished making this - it was BLACK!!)
Truly, I had no intention or plan to draw this - or anything else for that matter - it was just a mark making exercise - I should have taken a photo before the tunnel image emerged...
But given what I'd been reading in The Lotus and the Lily (pp. 143--52), I really shouldn't have been surprised!
It's all about trusting the unknown, the unseen... trusting that Life, the Universe are essentially supportive, creative, kind...
Trusting that even though I woke up feeling terrible - stiff, tired, my right arm throbbing (I get botox injections on Monday to relax the muscles, but this morning the ultra-tight muscles were screaming...) - I would gently push myself to catch up on the missed course lessons... Just to take my mind off my arm... just to trust that the day would get better...
I'm thinking about you
