Embracing ALL that We Are
Especially the parts we’d prefer to deny
Day 14 — July 22, 2021 — The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
MID-AFTERNOON ABUNDANCE
Today was about the ultimate simplicity — Nature’s Beauty — letting it speak. While I collected the usual suspects at the beach, I only wanted to use natural elements in the art piece today. I didn’t want to choose their arrangement; I let them decide.
I made a path of glue on the long, matte-finish tile, like a stretch of beach, and gently let the rocks and shells tumble from my hand, scattering where they would.
It was fabulous seeing how they chose to arrange! Later I filled in the naked glue with sand. OK, I made one cheat — I hand-placed a small rock that appears to have silver embedded in it. I couldn’t risk not having the beauty expose itself. I LOVE this piece and it feels so perfect for today. A day I will treasure, filled with joy.
First my project, then an application for a job that I would welcome with an open heart and mind. Next, a new friend’s email, and a phone conversation- over breakfast and coffee — to plan our first get-together, followed by a luxurious shower. Water rained down and cleansed me, heart, mind, and spirit, right down to my soul.
