Our topic this week is THE TERRIBLE BEAUTY.
Terrible suffering and grief is apparent all around the world,
there is no doubt; from job loss, health care crisis, sickness
and the loss of so many lives from COVID-19. We are in crisis.
During these times it helps to look for beauty and hope.
There is hope in the obvious interconnectedness of the human race.
There is hope in the world as brilliant minds are learning at a fast pace,
to win this battle.
There is beauty in the freedom and safety nature offers; the glory of spring,
the breeze on our skin and the warmth of the sun.
There is beauty as we breath in cleaner air and submerge in clear waters.
Since we all are doing our part to shelter in place, I invite you to
take your journal outside and commune with the beauty of nature,
up close and personal. (see full video lesson below)
DRAWING AS EXPLORATION
We will draw as a form of meditation and mindfulness.
We will draw to develop an intimacy with the natural world.
Notice a change in how you perceive the world when you draw in this way.
It's not about making a pretty picture. It's about paying close attention.
Surrender to it and you will soon be in awe of the world around you.
We. Are. Making. History. Together.
Stay Home. Stay Safe. Be creative.
Virtual Hugs,
Pamela
