- one vase, one wildflower
- an old wooden table with its invitation to sit for a while in nature
the beauty of a single lily
A quote sent to me by a client -
"The hardest thing to teach a student---and the hardest thing to believe consistently---is that there is nothing 'out there' to go and get. There is no part, no career, no opportunity for which you should be searching and coveting. All of the preparation is within, and you keep yourself mentally and physically fit; you remain generous with yourself and others; you stay deeply in study about your craft.
Whatever is yours will then arrive
~ Marian Seldes
In the excess of wanting, the yearning to achieve and the fear of missing out, do we fail to nurture what is? Busyness distracts, steals time and space, leading us away from what we love and what or who needs our attention. There's joy in engagement, reward in practice, discovery in process as you prepare for the coming.
