Happy Valentine’s Day!

I wish you a day full of love…  not just today… everyday!

I think love begins inside of us… if we don’t love ourselves, we really can’t love anyone else. One way I have been loving myself is by trying to balance all aspects of my being: my body, my mind and my spirit. To nourish my spirit I have been meditating in various ways and at various times of the day. Lately, I have been into what I call art-meditation. This basically means that I use color pencils, watercolors, markers, and acrylics and paint thoughtlessly while listening to very calming meditative music.  It helps a lot to relieve stress and be more centered.

This is why I am also posting once a week (or try to)…because I want to have more time to be present… and enjoy the moment. Timelessness…

Dearest Ilwoo, a while ago you posted an upside rainbow reflection image in your stories and that image stayed with me… I kept thinking it was your smile and how it radiated happiness in colors.  I decided to write a poem based on it and I wrote about what the colors reminded me related to you and in general.  I decided to illustrate each color during my art-meditation sessions… even though I was focused on the poem, it was still very relaxing. A time to be away from screens and send you my love… in every color of the rainbow.

Did you feel my colorful love coming to you this past weeks ?  Here is a memory of it with a bit of speed!
