Learning to Listen

Hi Everyone,

The free downloadable ‘Zenspirations® Word of the Month’ page for January featured the word Discover, and I am hopeful that it sparked moments of reflection which led to some new discoveries. The piece below is from one of my morning journals on this theme:

A Lettering Evolution

Hi Everyone,

Last week I came across a marvelous video produced by the Getty Museum, featuring the work of master calligrapher Thomas Ingmire, and master bookbinder William Anthony. The video showcases the step-by-step process of making a manuscript book, from preparing the parchment, to making ink, cutting.

Daring to Dream

Hi Everyone,

Every January I blog about one of my personal heroes–Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King Jr. — whose work has always inspired me. I share his dream of living in a world where we judge people on the content of their character, rather than on the color.

Delightful Discoveries

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for the kind comments left on last week’s blog! Hearing your thoughts– and seeing the wonderful art you share in our Facebook group– inspires me, and helps me feel connected to you and to the creative force which flows through us all.

I was delighted to ‘Discover’.
