Last evening one of the neighborhood girls asked about this poem by John O’Donahue, which was in our poetry box. It was sweet to hear her read it aloud.

It is what you think it is. I encountered two of these dangerous beauties on my trail run yesterday.

There are times when sketch or drawing can act as meditation. There’s a timelessness to getting lost in a work, even a simple work. Gauche sketch, with some graphite touches.

Unfortunately I know too many men who’ve sat in this seat. And, I’m not proud to say that I’ve certainly been this guy, too. Fellas, let’s do better to give voice to the #women in our lives — #wives #lovers #mothers #daughters #friends #colleagues and #coworkers

Mixed media studies on paper. Prepping for a larger paintings for a series centered on humans’ relationship with nature.

Turning away from judgement and fear, towards curiosity and love reveals previously unseen ways ahead. When we let the silence of our lives speak to us, instead of moving through life as if it’s a competitive race, we can hear and learn from our own inner teacher. That teacher is always there for us if we simply attune to it. It’s as easy and difficult as slowing down long enough to notice. When you’re lost and tired, turn to curiosity.
