Been really satisfied with most aspects of my life lately outside of my art process lately. It is so challenging for me not to let the little voice in my head constantly criticize and belittle. However, when I give myself the opportunity to just be and bring a greater awareness to my thoughts, even for just a few moments, I remember that I am exactly where I need to be. I remember that rushing certainly does not bring me joy and probably won't get me much further ahead. I remember all the reasons to be grateful and all of the good I have done. Being mindful helps me remember what matters. #heartsmart

Detail of an encaustic piece I created years ago. "Memory may be a hell or a paradise. It depends on whether you spend your youth manufacturing brimstone or planting roses."

"Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place." – #Rumi

When faced with adversity My wish for you Is that you will carry the weight of the world Like one might carry a child. Despite the knowledge That life will undoubtedly crush us May you keep the faith That the heart's work is always worthwhile. Regardless of how endless the journey may feel in times of grief or hardship May both patience and sense of urgent purpose find you in the wisdom that this life is more transient than we ever anticipate. And Anytime your sense of innocent imagination feels lost May you find infinite inspiration in the eyes of the future generation.
