Finding the drumbeat
When I go through the world, I notice that everything has its own pulse – the people, the plants, the trees, the animals, the birds – and if we get quiet enough we can hear each other’s drumbeat. If we keep listening we’ll move to the same rhythm. Do you notice that? In my art when … Read More
True Impermanence, the Impermanent Truth

Do you maybe have sky colour?
I occasionally do creativity “preservation” sessions with kiddies. They are wonderful to work with. I once had a little princess (Isabel) and her chess-champ brother (Adam) over. They made this beautiful castle: with this beautiful damsel: and this super-strong superhero on his way to save the day: We made our own custom tower-heads and carriages. … Read More
