Every day I hear that we are living in unpredictable, unprecedented, uncertain times.
For months I have been trying to gain perspective on the nature of what’s happening and where it all might lead. I feel like I am swimming in murky waters – there is no clarity.
However, there are a daily actions that help my mental balance and my perspective.
Gardening. Planting, watering and waiting. This reminds me that there is hope and renewal – and nutritious food for our family.
Swimming. The rhythmical movement of my arms and legs in the cold, salty waters calms my breathing and psyche.
Observing the natural world. In particular, observing a hawk who is nesting in a tree above my studio. She flies high, calling out, soaring above the earth, searching for food – all with a higher vision/perspective.
Making art. The act of creating with color, pattern, texture has been my refuge for decades. Please check out my gallery and my instagram feed for what’s new.
What do you know? What’s helping you navigate these murky and fluid times?
I would love to hear from you. Please connect.
Suspended, supported and safe.
