I try to think of waiting rooms as reception rooms now- rooms of opportunity for my time- rather than the provider's time. a shift in paradigm that enables the moments to be about me and my world. You are anazing, filled with spirit and optimism and shining with the energy of a healing artistic special soul. Thiinking of you and this open light filled path you are on- sending unending blessings.

It speaks to all the work we try to do to see a situation in its fullness, believing that it holds opportunities that are unseen and unknown unless we open our hearts. I am touched by your description of waiting for the "deer" woman to return--and how that willingess to keep company with her led you to a new friend. <br /><br />I had a beautiful day; balmy sunny weather outside, exquisite silence inside with the family away and the company of a good book.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461148136578592965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-81510571004381709902010-08-07T10:54:14.890-04:002010-08-07T10:54:14.890-04:00Can you imagine sitting in a waiting room with ren...Can you imagine sitting in a waiting room with renee? the very thought of it makes me smile.<br /><br />HI Karin When I read KJ'S comment I couldn't help but remember, my sister Renee's post on March 17, 2008.

But you found the good in it - connecting with a new buddy! I loved that you wanted to wait for this lady, you have such a big heart and that´s what I love so much in you!!<br />It´s the first time I see you painting such detailed faces and I really like it alot. You pictured them very personal and soulful and yourself as a part of this circle - beautiful.<br /><br />You´re always in my thoughts.<br /><br />Love ~ TinaB.J. von Schneyder Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09762398393189834226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-77296408314651726132010-08-06T10:21:26.523-04:002010-08-06T10:21:26.523-04:00hi karin, looked like we both had similar days of ...hi karin, looked like we both had similar days of connection - i was outside working on my felting and my neighbor (of 3 years) drove by and i waved, not knowing if it was her husband or her... i haven't seen her since my show at silvermine - they came to the opening and that was the only time i ever saw either of them. two seconds later, she showed up in my yard and we had a wonderful conversation. i invited her and her two little sons over to make art sometime next week. sometimes, all it takes is a little wave or smile... sending much love, waves and smiles your way! i love your hands and swirls piece and the images of the other people... and the lotus of course:) i got your email - will respond soon. cool - you got an ipad! nice.... does it have a camera? when it does, i may just have to get one.<br />love,<br />jdaya saraswati dasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640060055505932855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-28206579714820701142010-08-06T08:50:10.191-04:002010-08-06T08:50:10.191-04:00Karin, I think I know what you mean, how indescrib...Karin, I think I know what you mean, how indescribable this feeling is of waiting with others...the weight of the wait. Also the feeling of connection...I believe it is similar for me when I receive my monthly infusions...I look around at the familiar faces (the regulars), the nurses, then the new faces, frightened, tired or just as often relaxed...which might surprise those who don't frequent infusion centers. Some folks are open and friendly and invite conversation with their body language and smiles, others seem to need their privacy in the open room with the beeping of iv's. What a blessing for the people you connected with on the day you describe so well above...blessings flow in all directions, clearly you were receiving a dose of heart healing from talking with them and observing too. Your drawings are wonderful as always, I love the one with the single finger reaching out...sending/receiving lovingkindness. I believe that is the main task of being human.<br />gentle stepsLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349928247626849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-61500609713348510692010-08-06T08:30:47.318-04:002010-08-06T08:30:47.318-04:00Those connections are so very important - the know...Those connections are so very important - the knowledge that this is our own life to live but that we are really at the same time all one just sits right in the soul, doesn't it, Beautiful Karin ?<br />So glad that you have found loving connections close by to help you through and to make you continue your own wonderful purpose here.
