Art Saves • by Maya Donenfeld

In the midst of busy mothering, art it is often my place of calm in the center of the storm. And during those rare and beautiful moments of all-by myself creating, it becomes the doorway inward. The steady hum of my sewing machine and the silent methodical carving of a block are both forms of meditation for me. I’m able to hear my thoughts and needs more deeply when I’m in this heightened place of awareness. I believe that we all have different ways of getting into that zone … painting, knitting, running, etc. Knowing what takes us to that place might just save us. It has for me. Time and again.

Maya,
I so agree, there is a flow that arrives, when we do what we love. It saves us and makes us able to weather daily storms~
