Circle Meditation

“No matter what comes along,

we’re always standing

at the center of the world

in the middle of sacred space.

Everything that comes into that circle

and exists with us there

has come to teach us

what we need to know.”

– PEMA CHODRON –

This quote was from my inspirational reading today. It moved me to paint as meditation. I thought of all the relationships and circumstances that exist within my world, both happy and sad, easy and complicated, up close and far away. I drew a circle and intuitively dropped colors into my drawing for each of them, letting them touch and move and blend. Then I added some swaths of gold and some silver linings, as sacred acknowledgement of all that is my life.
