The Magic Lamp, a book about the power of our imagination and the value of all our feelings,
written and illustrated by Deb Koffman. Published by Bellastoria Press. This is a video of the book launch at
Deb Koffman’s Artspace in Housatonic Massachusetts. With a delightful line up of characters from the book!!!
This is a cartoon about choice. How we use anything is really up to us.
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.
How can I simply BE with whatever is happening? With restlessness, loneliness, pain, bliss…as if each one is a unique pattern of energy, vital, interesting, not good or bad. Watch it, breathe, give it space, let it move on its own.
I love these handwritten feelings. Because of the graphic quality of the handwriting and because I care about each feeling. I am trying to remember that they change, and that each one deserves my love and attention, equally.
If I hold onto love, all the others can come and go and I’ll be fine, I think.
