I paint my own reality.

"The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."
~Frida Kahlo~

To sit and paint with a brush or to create with beads or flowers or seeds or rubbish like these can lids above I painted, whichever medium you choose, this will be a meditation time.  If only others understood the great benefits from sitting and creating and letting the mind have a rest and concentrate only on a small stitch or a tiny dollop of paint in a single dot.  This is meditation in action and if you allow your mind to be filled with the work you are doing and the story it tells it is healing to your spirit.
This is beautiful spirit work when it happens.  For me it is like I go to another place and I welcome the moments when I feel overcome to paint symbols.
