Sometimes sitting in meditation even for one minute can seem daunting. Mindfulness is just being aware of each moment, carefully attending to even the most subtle sensations of movement. Test your skill! Can you simply watch this meditator for a single minute?
I make art (stories, poems, cartoons, installations, card decks) to understand, reflect and honor my emotions and thinking patterns. I write stories about choice, poems that give me advice, cartoons that remind me what really matters to my heart and soul.
I’m deeply drawn to Buddhist teachings and to the practice of meditation and mindful awareness. I practice paying attention to my reactions, my thinking, my speech, my physical sensations. My books, cartoons and card decks all offer me guidance, wise advice, reminders when I’m stuck or struggling, lost or confused.
My hope is that my work encourages your well-being, helping you navigate your emotional and mental life more easily.
Mindfulness is sitting with things. As they are. Without doing anything about them. Just noticing. Just feeling.
There are so many ways to look at life. Why do we choose just one way? Experiment, look at your life, your relationships, your job, your ideas in another way. Look up, down, all around, look mad, sad, curiously . Or don’t look. Listen.
