a touch of spring

The cold winter has gone
The air becomes mild and soft
And it is as though the bright sun
Smiles at us directly.

changing season

"By observing the changing seasons, the shifting clouds, and the ever creative dance of plants and animals, we can recognize our own essential nature in the rhythms of outer nature. We create a changing world inside ourselves in order to begin to understand the world outside" Dennis Kloceck.

Art Therapy: Be the Change You Want to See

When the Soul listens....

When the Soul listens, it already speaks a language that lives.
The softest of whispers have language and meaning:
Leaves in the trees chattering with one another,
Currents in the streams,
Clapping loudly and in agreement,
Wind and rain and clouds,
Whisper of God’s holy feet,
Speaking and revealing
The deep hidden Word so sweet,
When the Soul listens….

Guido Gezelle
(freely translated from Dutch)

art

Art does not reflect the visible, art makes visible the invisible.
(Paul Klee)

Winter

The cold that wants to make us small and narrow
makes us shrink and crawl away.

This is the time of the mysterious germinating,
of the rising light.

Increasing glow and appearance
In the hidden places
already present.
