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!
thanks for the nice words you left on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe course you did sounds wonderful.
