Day 11~Thirty days of gratitude

 One of the things I LOVE so much during my workshops is the element of surprise, the messages our creativity brings to us! The dialogue we can have with our work...

 I notice my students getting so caught up in the "striving" and so I always take time to walk around and photograph small cropped areas of their works in progress....

 there is so much beauty available to us in every single moment....

 if only we can stop.....

 for long enough to see it...

synchronicity is everywhere, 

like in the fact that as I am writing this I randomly arrived at this beautiful crop while I was writing those words.... you see?

and oh my! 

I just noticed the outstretched hand in the image above this urging us to stop and notice♥

 there is joy and love inherent in the process...the process of creating, the process of living....

 there in every moment for us to recognise it before it gets covered up by the next thing....

 Sometimes when I'm taking these photos sneakily....:)

 I show a student the beauty I have found in their work..and they agree; 

"That's gorgeous! Whose work is that?" 

"Its yours" I tell them.

So profound to look at your work as if you are looking at somebody elses....

 colours flow, loosely marking time...

 and then we let them go..everything changes...

 we are drawn to focus on one thing....

 and then something more explosive takes our eye!

 world within worlds, fire and ice...our imaginations run rampant!

 

and then we add another layer...just like life in its complexity.......

Sooooooo grateful for the hidden messages, the "whisper" gifts, the revelations that are always right there in front of us...

and grateful too to open my eyes to see them and help others  to do the same ♥

hasta manana amigos
