Last weekend I attended a mediation workshop with a well-known teacher, Sharon Salzburg. It was a tremendous experience to listen to her simple words of wisdom in such an intimate setting. We enjoyed a couple of hours of lecture and mediation followed by bountiful snacks and good company. When I first hear about the event I immediately wanted to attend. Then I backed off. Then my teacher, Mary, encouraged me to go and I am so glad I did. It was the perfect way to celebrate the 8 weeks course I had taken and to deepen my Lovingkindness meditation practice. I have learned to send lovingkindness to myself, which is so healing! Plus I just love saying that word.....lovingkindness. So much meaning wrapped up in 4 syllables.
I was inspired to create some artwork to remember the workshop and this is my creation. Born as a perfectionist and moving toward contentedness I am learning to create art just because it feels good. It doesn't have to be for anyone but me!
