Comforting Thought: We Resemble Each Other Through What We See Together

“Contrary to current prejudicial ideas, the people who do not have the right to stand alone are precisely the artists. Art cannot be a monologue. When even isolated and unknown artists appeal to posterity, they are doing nothing more than reaffirming the very meaning of their work. Because they consider that a dialogue with deafContinue reading “Comforting Thought: We Resemble Each Other Through What We See Together”

Who made the world?

Who made the world? The billowing clouds heading southward. The pillowed reef and a thousand animals beneath my feet. Who made the wind bracing my ankles. The shadows behind and through it all.

Comforting Thought: Healing and the ‘precious now’

“Sometimes the end is sudden
and you are left without closure,
heartbroken and unprepared
for such a sharp change
for a while, you live with a mind
that is half here and half full of regret,
wondering, “what if?”
for a while, your heart only feels grief
and your mind only sees gray
and then life starts to call you back
into its arena of possibility;
it reminds you that all is not lost
and that even though a chapter ended,
there is still a longer story to be told
with time and intention,
wounds lose their heaviness,
healing fills the tough parts of your being,
and you awaken the light of love within yourself
in time, you will return fully into the precious now with a heart that feels refreshed and ready to move forward”
