​breathe kindness
in this sacred space

inhabit the still point
balanced between
inhale and exhale

- Tatiana Sakurai, Fields of Creation, 
Lightworker Training

I'm looking for the still point.  Unlike in my more youthful days, when stillness was the last thing on my radar.  Remember youth?   When drama and excitement were everything?

Inhabiting the still point - the space between
  • ​breaths
  • raindrops
  • heartbeats
  • words

I'm practicing  breathing kindness into those in-between places.  On a warm June day with a gentle breeze and the pooch rolling about on the patio, it doesn't seem so hard. :)

About the painting:  another archeological piece which has been sitting on the easel for months.  With each other painting I was working on, another layer or mark or glaze was added to this one.   It was an exercise in not being focused on outcome or progress.  Rather, just adding a bit here and there until it unveiled what it wanted to be.  The still point between other paintings. :

What a beautiful title and thought! We have to learn to pause... the moment before.... the moment after... the moment! Love the depth and light!

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.
