One Life

The title and graphics from Range Rover brochures. Reflecting on the significance of one born life, through enlarging on thick paper, cutting and pasting, I created this piece.

I/Thou

I took a one-day writing workshop a while back. At one point, the instructor focused on the importance of keeping “thou” in mind for effectiveness. I appreciated the reminder of this connection.

Blind Contour Drawing 1

Going through some sketches, I was reminded of this valuable, yet tricky, artistic practice of drawing without looking down at the paper and lifting the pen or pencil. In essence, the pen or pencil never leaves the surface of the paper while the eyes are focused solely on viewing what is rather than on verifying the precision.

The purpose of blind contour drawing is activation of creativity.

Much Ado About Nothing 1

This morning, in reflecting back on this past summer, I realize that my visits to a “functional medicine” physician were “much ado about nothing.”

He was highly recommended by a medical consultant who, in turn, was recommended by a friend. I thought this doctor would be the medical panacea I had been searching for and that he advertised. Turned out this was not the case, not by a long shot. Tracing back to the original referral, I realize that this friend, in observing her various medical treatments over the years, was no where close to an expert in getting and receiving really good medical support. Bless her heart, and my miscalculation. And, perhaps there is no one cure-all.
