espritu santo

where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.

- Leonardo da Vinci.


today is all about art. making art. using our hands. calling on the spirit to infuse it's breath into the art. after all, what is art unless it is an expression of the essence of who we are? it is merely exhibition.

map out your dreams on an empty wall.
create a collage of your hopes for the future.
draw a circle over and over again and see where the repetitions take you.
pull out the paints that have been sitting on the shelf. mix some colors and create a palette that speaks your truth.
write and write and write until you have nothing left to speak of; leaving all of your hopes, fears, and joys on the page for only your eyes to see.
dance through your fingertips and let the lyrical move you where it will. frivolous, fanciful, fantastical.

this is our holy work.
say a prayer and let the art begin.
