Our everyday world is sending us messages all the time — signs we receive with greater clarity if we are attentive to our senses, remaining open and inquisitive about what we perceive. You see the spaciousness of the sky, feel the firmness of the earth beneath your feet, rain is wet, and the midday sun is bright. Sirens shriek and dust settles. With a contemplative mind, everyday experience offers an endless supply of creative inspiration. The world shares its wisdom with us as we perceive it. As artists, we are channels for its expression. Our ability to do this is a precious gift, one we offer to others so they might find greater appreciation of the world and its wisdom, too.
