| harmony in bloom |
'...out of clutter find simplicity;
from discord find harmony;
in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.'
~albert einstein
i have a sweet friend who happens to have taken heart to this piece and i told her i would post a blog about it. it was one of my first attempts at working with water color medium. i figured if i used colors that i knew were harmonious i couldn't go wrong.
the experience itself reminds me of what life is like
when i am faced with a challenge...
i often need to remind myself not to fear what is in front of me,
but sit for a bit and think.
think about how to break the task
down into something manageable...doable, potentially achievable...
breathing helps.
giving myself permission to have fun helps too.
if i can remember not to take myself,
the process or the outcome so seriously, all will be fine. and i use that word intentionally. fine, that is. fine is that word typically collecting dust on the shelf in my closet. if others use the word to describe my work (or me) i am almost offended, but for me to use the word ...well, let's just say my therapist would probably fall out of his chair!
finding peace,
harmony and
joy in the every day,
the ordinary,
the challenges of now
is what life is about...
truly being fine
is where i want to actually
live my life
for real...
let's just say i'm working on getting there,
one day at a time...o.k. o.k. sometimes one prayer at a time...
if you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
