As the year closes I am reminded of how rushed I sometimes was over the past year - many times not stopping to enjoy the moment, rushing on to the next appointment, the next painting, the next blog to up-date. I never make New year's resolutions, but for 2012 I set myself the intention to slow down, sit for a few moments longer enjoying my early morning coffee, stopping at each plant in the garden just a bit longer in stead of just rushing through, making notes of what has to be done and to listen more intently to the sound of the birds, the sound of life happening outside my studio.
So...
in stillness and motion . embrace this day
listen to whispers on the wind ...
become ever resourceful
remain ever reflective
continue ever reaching
stay ever amazed
- Unknown
May your 2012 be reflective and ever-amazing.
