Art of Mindfulness

Art can be found wherever there is life.. expression, and movement. Even within the monotony of daily life, beauty and poetry exist everywhere waiting to be graced by awe. 
Trees, animals, plants, even crystals are in constant motion- expressing their unique "beingness" into the world without censorship. It doesn't require having an advanced meditative practice or being a zen master to perceive and appreciate the harmonic resonance of a birdsong.. or the brilliant silence that is expressed in seeing a winter's snowfall. All we need is a level of attention, receptivity, and acceptance.. in other words.. mindfulness. This is where the magic happens! The more mindful we become, the richer our sensory experiences.. and the more we can embrace life as a splendid tapestry.. woven from the fabric of all of our experiences: without justification.. without reason.. without romanticism.. without diffusing the brilliance of what "is" through the baggage of labels or conditioned "mind stuff". From this disposition, we arrive at a space where nature can be witnessed as a living masterpiece... and art is valued as a syncretic expression of beauty.

Mindfully,
