“There was a single likeness, a small sketch that he kept inside a gold locket, …the locket disappeared to the rag-and-bone man. I do not know where the likeness went. It slipped through the cracks of time and went to where the lost things are.”
~K Morton, The Clockmaker’s Daughter, p. 65

Week 9 Inspiration: Mood (Your Artistic Inspiration this week is the mood you are feeling today. Take that mood and use it to create art.)

Every thing in the cosmos is the object of our perception, and, as such, it does not exist only outside of us but also within us. If we look deeply at the bud on the tree, we will see its nature. It may be very small, but it is also like the earth, because the leaf in the bud will become part of the earth. ~Thich Nhat Hanh (cited: Hul Ling Lim: Environmental Revolution in Contemporary Buddhism: The Interbeing of Individual and Collective Consciousness in Ecology, Feburuay 18, 2019)
We have been talking about the environment as something different from us, but we are the environment…we are the Earth. ~Thich Nhat Hanh (cited: Hul Ling Lim: Environmental Revolution in Contemporary Buddhism: The Interbeing of Individual and Collective Consciousness in Ecology, Feburuay 18, 2019)
Mindfulness means awareness and looking deeply…it is possible to live deeply in mindfulness that could penetrate in all aspects of one’s life.~Thich Nhat Hanh (cited: Hul Ling Lim: Environmental Revolution in Contemporary Buddhism: The Interbeing of Individual and Collective Consciousness in Ecology, Feburuay 18, 2019)
This beautiful, bounteous, life-giving planet we call Earth has given birth to each one of us, and each one of us carries the Earth within every cell of our body…~Thich Nhat Hanh (cited: Hul Ling Lim: Environmental Revolution in Contemporary Buddhism: The Interbeing of Individual and Collective Consciousness in Ecology, Feburuay 18, 2019)
