Contemplation
A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life. ~Lewis Mumford
On this day, there is nothing more important than taking a moment for yourself. Slow down, close your eyes, and breathe in the world around you. Somewhere in the midst of feelings of chaos, tiredness, emotional hurt, anger, overwork, and frustration lies a simple sensory experience -- a sight, a sound, a taste, a touch -- that can bring you peace. Bring your heart and mind into union with it.
It only takes a moment, but its medicine is pervasive.
This painting is available for purchase from the Sacred Arts Studio on Etsy for $75.

Lovely painting, am sure you will find a good home for it.
ReplyDeleteOh! am I so glad I am back blogging again and enjoying such wonderful posts as your honest and heart felt thoughts alongside such vibrant pieces of art. Why on earth is age bothering you - I am now in my early 70's and still feel like a little girl half the time, especially when spent with my loving daughter and young art friends who keep me young at heart. Maybe the dancing alone around the lounge or kitchen doesn't happen often but at least it happens!!
ReplyDeleteOh such a cute painting!
