Touching the center...

 

What sustains you from the inside

when all else falls away?

This drawing came out of a time of movement-dancing as I allowed my body to express whatever was pressing to be seen-sensed from the depths of my being.

As I began moving pastels across scrap paper, I had no preconceived notion of what image would arise. Colors became circles became became an eye became stone became fire became mountain, and on and on as I turned the paper again and again and moved color after color.....

This is what emerged. 

Today, as I circle back and through this moving-dancing-drawing, I come across a poem by Oriah* and I wonder what I am willing to risk as I touch into the center of my longing and extend outwards...again and again.


Thank you for your presence here.
