I've been on something of a break from paint and canvas, and exploring other forms of expression. Music in particular has been satisfying of late; Mandolin, Native American Flute, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Drums. I've discovered that not only is all of this good for the heart and soul, but there are physical benefits as well. For example, the vibration generated from an 18 inch handheld drum is enough to cause lymph release when my hand and arm get puffy.
I've also been working in my garden. There is such a beautiful connection to the present moment when I'm hanging out with the plants, bees and hummingbirds. Its all so simple out there. The rhythms and patterns of coming and going, rising and falling, wild-ness to tame-ness and back again, birth and death, sun and rain, growth and decay... all in a single day in the backyard of a city lot.
Amazing.
