Two things before the weekend
Rip it up
Item 1
If you have the space and desire, you could try the very therapeutic practice through which artist Tamara Torres guided us at a Martin Luther King Day gathering earlier this week. I’m paraphrasing here and hope I do it justice:
- Gather paper, a piece of heavier cardboard/card stock if you have it, markers or crayons, and glue
- Put on music
- Set a timer and draw/doodle for a few minutes (we did 3 at the event; in the description, it looks like she sometimes recommends 10). Let the music move your hand around. Leave marks on the paper without thinking too much.
- Rip up the paper!
- Using the heavier board as a canvas, use your ripped-up pieces to make a collage.
Item 2
Claudia Horwitz is posting free daily guided meditations for the first 100 days. I am finding it hard to sit quietly for 10 minutes, but the other day’s Expanding and Contracting one was worth the try.
Wishing you peace,
JCS
