ocean angel

Silence is a source of great strength. 
Lao Tzu


This morning's little sketch...


today feels melancholic to me.
A melancholic Monday.



I went for an early morning walk on the beach this morning,
and when i came back, i wrote this
in my little journal.

Life is ebb and flow.
It's about learning
when to hold on
and when to let go.
Like the turning of the tides
it comes and goes
in constant transformation.
There are days
where i have the strength
of an ox
and days where i am like
a butterfly in the wind.
On days when i am called
to have strength of steel
i go within
and imagine myself
as the ocean
capable of swallowing shores
and soothing spirits.

My heart pulses
and i become rhythm.
Back and forth,
the ticking of a clock
the breathing in and out
the breaking of waves on the shore
the singing of birds
the leaves in the wind
the footsteps in the sand
the blood in my veins...

i become one with the ocean
and there,
i find my voice.


I hope you all find some time today
to connect with what's important to you
and find your own voice.
xoxo

little women...


I don't think I had posted this final painting.

I just had another great night with my brushes & paints. I'll post the results tomorrow. No pics yet...

Did you do anything creative this weekend?
(Remember, creativity is not restricted to painting or art!) :-)
I'd love to hear how YOU choose to express yourself.
Have a great week everyone!
