Solitude January 29, 2016

Sit, listen, and wait

Be where you are, still, alone

The music will come.

Art Prescription:  Most religions refer to stillness in the form of prayer or meditation. Deeply spiritual beings seem to truly practice this…the most of us are blundering our way towards the music. Listening!! And I did spend some wonderful moments on my horse’s bare back today. Connection!

Stretched across the room

My grandmother’s quilt rack, work

In progress by stitch.

Art Prescription:  I remember going to my grandmother’s and there being a huge quilt in progress taking up the whole living area. She and her sister worked on this by hand, stitch by stitch. I’m the lucky owner of some of these heirloom quilts. They are works of art.
