Going back in time here for a visit...... From my archives, Arch Rock from the exquisite Oregon coast. I used pen and ink and watercolors, one of my favorite ways of painting. I'm looking at this painting from a different perspective today. I'm thinking of a teacher I met along the way who said that in martial arts they instruct to "be like water into rock"... Water moves and flows and surrounds the rock, the immovable object. And wears it down. So, as I say, pretty soon, you are looking thru a window in the rock. A crack in the wall. Anything is possible. Imagine.Imagine, I'm a Dreamer
And I'm not the only one...... And that is the Meditation for today. A night or two ago, I was captivated by a PBS special about Neil Young. Oh, did that bring back memories, still love his singing and music. Those were the days...... So I was cruising thru You Tube and found this wonderful video of him singing a tribute to John Lennon and 911 victims. Wonderful rendition, just love it and many other of the songs of John Lennon and Neil Young.
Namaste, enjoy.....

Great meditation for the day. I also like the "Be like water..."
Listening to "Imagine" right now!
"Imagine" always makes me cry (as does Lennon's "Woman"). Your pen and watercolor is wonderful. I haven't been to the Oregon coast for years, but the painting makes me happy I signed up for a workshop there. . . even if it's in the cold and rainy season.
Hello awyn,
thanks for stopping in and comments. That "be like water" metaphor has stayed in my mind for a long time... a very helpful way for me to think about obstacles.
Hi Meri, such great music never loses it's ability to touch the heart. Glad you like my w/c, what class are you taking & where? I LOVE the Oregon coast, it seems to be my "place" in the world...
