PAINT YOUR LIFE
By Cathy Dana, Alameda, CA
Sensations are the pallet of colors of your body.
Emotions are the pallet of colors of your heart.
Thoughts are the pallet of colors of your mind
Use the artist’s brush
To paint the colors of your life.
Paint with verve, with vigor, with vibrance, with vitality
Paint with the shades of keen observation
And finely-tinted discernment
Paint with the brush-stroke wisdom of the witness
The hues of playfulness of the full participant
Let your artist’s eye explore shadows and light and space
And the perspective of multiple points of view.
Stroke boldly. Stroke delicately.
Paint with wild abandon, sensorial whimsy, finest precision.
Paint from inside your own skin.
Paint from an open heart, an open mind.
Paint like your life depends on it.
