"When you look on another human being and feel great love toward them..
.or when you contemplate beauty in nature
and something within you responds deeply to it...
close your eyes for a moment and feel the essence of that love or that beauty within you, inseparable from who you are, your true nature.
The outer form is a temporary reflection of what you are within, in your essence.
That is why love and beauty can never leave you, although all outer forms will."
Eckhart Tolle...
Isn't that beautiful?....? It's a wow moment for me!
Tolle’ says, “Viewing beauty is one way to be in the now.”
as we look at art and it moves us we are usually fully present
.....as artists when we are at work creating and get in that heavenly groove, when everything is coming together as Spirit speaks, we are fully in the moment…..
in the Now.....
.the Monkey Mind is quiet.
It's why I love creating my figures...it puts me into some sort of stream,
I feel floaty and I tingle...
That's what being in the moment does...It puts me in a positive flow...
accepting,
letting each moment come and feeling it's all as it should be...
it's meditation.
and no wonder I feel so good when I get out into nature...
when we surround ourselves with art, music, poetry...
We are the beauty, it is our essence....
....Really a mind blowing & comforting thought.
"What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit." (John Updike)
We need art in the schools...
