a lovely piece of “art glass”
a visual reminder,
a precious inspiration…
~ a dance ~
flowing colors, lines and motion,
reflecting light and spirit,
~ flexibility ~
~
~
~
~
~
flexibility of heart and mind,
toward and within one’s own heart and mind,
and with others as well,
living with kindness, compassion, acceptance and understanding,
~ flexibility ~
~
~
gently coming back
again…and again…and again
to kindness, compassion, acceptance and understanding
gently nurturing flexibility of heart and mind

Update October 17, Nurturing Thursday:
Translation of this post into Spanish, offered by Georgette, from Georgette Sullen’s blog
(today, several women who speak Spanish asked me about translations…so here they are…)

~la flexibilidad ~
una hermosa pieza de “arte en vidrio”
un recordatorio visual,
una valiosa fuente de inspiración …
~ Una danza ~
colores que fluyen, líneas y movimiento,
que reflejan la luz y el espíritu,
~ La Flexibilidad~
~
~
la flexibilidad de mente y corazón,
hacia y dentro de la propia mente y corazón,
y con los demás, así,
vivir con la bondad, la compasión, la aceptación y el entendimiento,
~ La Flexibilidad ~
~
viene suavemente
una y otra vez …
la bondad, la compasión, la aceptación y la comprensión
alimentan suavemente la flexibilidad de mente y corazón

Part of “Nurturing Thursday” hosted by Becca Givens at “On Dragonfly Wings and Buttercup Tea”…. please visit Becca’s blog to view her lovely posts and to link to encouraging posts by other Nurturing Thursday bloggers.
The background, swirling, blue oval image is a closeup photo of the center of the art glass globe… that art glass is a reminder and inspiration for me to nurture a gentle and graceful dance of increasing flexibility.
Previous “flexibility” post and image… background of the vertical grain of a redwood tree…this post includes steps I use for encouraging more flexibility within myself and toward others

Very soothing post and beautiful visuals. I am very sensitive and respond visually to beauty whether it’s in art or inspiring words. The message about the flexibility of heart and mind reached me.

I’m happy it resonated with you. I find that pairing an appealing image with an idea/quality I’m trying to use/live with more often (such as flexibility…not my strong suit there…) seems to make it easier to continually try to do that…I guess the nice colors soothe and inspire me to keep trying… a bit like a spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down???…but visual instead of taste…. creating my very own “spoonful of sugar,” I guess. 🙂
