I am continuing my exploration of daily hours, by observing the light on objects and places that I inhabit.

Where did you find this amazing video blog or whatever? She has reassured me once again that the source is beyond and outside of me and that all I ever have to do is show up and be willing to be the conduit- the “hollow reed” as the Baha’i text states. As i listened to her my eyes teared once again as I thought of Rothko’s struggles with his loss of his Genius. I loved the notion of the Greeks and Romans knowing that creativity was a separate entity that moved beyond us. Imagine Botticelli though if he had the reassurance of this- would he have destroyed his own work? would he have changed from fluid works of passion and beauty to frenetic overly detailed and obsessed dogmatic images? i doubt it. Faith and reliance upon ones guiding spirit takes discipline and faith. |

Karen Renna - Carole, I don’t think I can add much to those thoughts. Perhaps just that nothing ever truly repeats itself so enjoy each moment as it is in its entirety. I too am taken aback by the power vested in one single moment of light if I take that moment to be present in it. Beth I guess that is what your painting does.
Carole Freysz Gutierrez - Beth,
you have a beautiful way with words – they always touch me! I also love your sketches. I remember painting the same corner in my room over and over many years ago. I always loved series of ‘the same’, which of course is never the same. It’s a great discipline to pay close attention to the richness of one thing in its many appearances. Every simple object harbors a wealth of inspiration when observed attentively. The world is in one moment, and the moment stands for the world.
