"All means are sacred which are called for by the inner need."
—Wassily Kandinsky
I took my zen art to the sidewalks today, literally, with chalk. I created seven drawings, one on each segment with up to three colors each. I really enjoyed the spontaneity, while listening to music and letting the rhythms and inner spirit take over. I'm not sure if I'll continue to fill up the sidewalk or not. They are only temporary, giving them over to nature and foot traffic, and that's okay. Nothing lasts forever.
Speaking of music, I found it was difficult not to feel energy listening to Paul Simon's Graceland which is why I included it in
yesterday's post title. The text was already getting long so I'm mentioning it today instead. There is just something joyful about South African rhythms.
