'healing with words' mixed media on canvas 11"x14" tired? worn out? in pain? lost? hopeless? just a bit confused? need a break? things that heal: lighting a candle listening to the music of the rain the warmth of another writing it down a cup of tea (with honey and lemon for extra points) morning sunshine water (drink it in, immerse yourself in it, jump in the puddles) time with your lovely self - intentional playing in the studio - no purpose, just fun that juicy piece of fruit a piano and cello playing together getting your hands dirty giving without expecting anything in return a good stretch walking barefoot in the grass the smell of camp fire in your hair a glass of red wine kisses - lots of kisses a good cry a good laugh time words quite exhausted after an intense week of work on the house. we made room for the baby, organized and cleaned everything in sight, and are now ready to open our home for lots of visiting friends for a whole week. a reminder of the things that refresh and restore is in order. amongst these, developing a new daily art practice, loads of stitching, playing with small abstracts, finding poetry. have a wonderful weekend, friends!
