my art & the language of my life

a piece of the path i walked yesterday

these recent days i am holding several questions - questions that inspire & delight. here are two:

1. what is my art?

2. what is the language of my life?

on monday i explored these questions in one of my journals, starting with the question, "what is my art?" as my words moved through me (& my fingers) & to the screen i started to see that my response to "what is the language of my life?" mirrors my response to "what is my art?" my art is the language of my life & the language of my life is my art. when i ask "what is my art?" & when i ask "what is the language of my life?" i am asking the same question. i also see that my art is & the language of my life is: my gift, my skill & my contribution.

my art & the language of my life is:

• being
• breathing
• showing up
• seeing, naming, honoring & celebrating what is, the wholly holy & the extraordinary ordinary
• presence, peace & practice
• gratitude & appreciation
• creation
• light-full & light-ness
• joy
• gentle-ness, kind-ness & generosity
• healing
• illuminating
• delight
• savoring
• sweet-ness
• enough & perfection
• partnership with Spirit, ancestors, Nature, partner, children, family, friends, colleagues & acquaintances
• loving
• mindful-ness
• listening
• fluid, flowing, impermanent
• simplicity

what is your art? what is the language of your life?
