In a word, no. We will go into overdrive. School is open, schedules are crammed, and the holidays are right around the corner. Yes, really! Thanksgiving is only 12 weeks away, and you know how quickly Christmas arrives once those dishes are done!
During these fleeting moments, let's take the time, make the time, to replenish ourselves. Go out to the garden and feel the dappled sunlight on our faces. Breathe in the fresh air. Remember what we love about our crazy lives and vow to spend more time doing those things, with those we love.
My latest tile for the Healing Ceilings project, offers cancer patients a seat in the garden. A place to go, a place to rest. Their burdens are so heavy.
I sincerely hope this tile offers at least one patient an emotional break from their hectic schedule. Maybe one caregiver, nurse, or doctor, will look up and feel calmed, or soothed.
As your summer fades into fall, remember to grab on to those fleeting moments!
Love from my studio,
Marilyn

DeleteA thought provoking post and another lovely tile. A comfortable chair in a peaceful garden...so inviting. This one will speak to all who look up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosemary. I really do hope to convey the spirit of support and compassion to those that view the tiles. That is the energy I draw upon while painting each one, hoping that energy will be reflected back to the observer. I appreciate your kind acknowledgment.
