Drawing - a window into seeing what is

Aman-Jean, 1883

Georges Seurat (French, 1859–1891)

Conté crayon on paper

The earth shifts beneath our feet (literally or figuratively speaking) and sets off vibrations in each of us.  How do we receive, even embrace these vibrations, these rumblings?  How do we see them, know them, work with them, and create with them?

Drawing offers a window into what is, a window into new possibilities.  When we work honestly and sincerely we live more deeply inside the present moment and inside our true selves.  To see well and clearly and to express what is seen has its own powerful vibration in the world, affecting change far beyond what we might imagine.

The space "in between" is the shaping "force" - the "between" is the relationship, the character or quality of that which comes together in any given moment to make a particular color, shape, value, drawing.... what lies between makes a life, what lies between is the vast and intricate network of interconnections that weave our world.
