Vivian, it is not easy beginning your dayās tribute...SO MANY SOUL-speaks from which to chose...When I saw your DRAWINGS COLLECTION and the flood of so many organic soul-studies of lifeās EXTRAordinary Ordinarinesses, my tribute Naturally begins. The relationship between levels of growing enlightenment and the ability to see life energy in ...a stone....is explored in various meditative practices. Your pulsing ādancingā technique is so tenderly, almost reverently...quieted ...to a gentle stippling...a deepening Knowing of the dark shadows...I pause.... to sit in the stillness of the invitation...to ...BE....namaste....
VIVA Anderson replied:
Laurel, Thank you so very much, again, here, because we share the calm of quiet, still things, so precious for the soulās peace....VIVA
