Peace, Wander, and Health.

Throughout this week and a lot of last week I've been having anxiety and have felt a little down and sick because of it. I've been working on projects that can give me some kind of peace and relaxation.

The first project I did this week was a mini drawing and watercolor paining of an OM sign with some glitter thrown on it. The sound of the universe. "Om (or Auṃ [ə̃ũ], Sanskrit: ॐ) is a sacred sound and a spiritual icon in Dharmic religions. It is also a mantra in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism."

 

A project I started and finished last night was a mini cross stitch. I was feeling some cabin fever from feeling sick all week and too tired to go out anywhere so I stitched some little arrows and the word "Wander" which is probably one of my favorite verbs.

 

 

 

Today was the first day that I've felt really good and I feel so grateful for it. Since Ronnie is at the clay studio I went out a couple times to go enjoy the fresh air. This morning I went down the street to a too expensive, hipster, coffee shop where I made it my office of editing photos.

I came back home and decided I wanted to go wander. I was feeling really inspired by the Winooski river and decided to grab my lensbaby and create a short experimental film. I haven't done any video since college so I'm very excited to see the outcome.

 

 

 



My wander and deep breathing around the river was extremely therapeutic.
