Beneath the Emptiness

Beneath the Emptiness The night before last I was driving to a Board of Directors Meeting, listening to a book, when I heard D. Shefali Tsabary say, “Just beneath emptiness is the vast expanse of their spirit.”  Just beneath the emptiness.... As I heard this I felt empty. Hollowed out actually. And so very, very tired.

Butterfly Wing Mural

Butterfly Wing Mural A few years ago I went back to teaching after a long break and have been teaching art at a local junior high. And yes...the classes are large and no...the pay is not great and sure it is a lot of work but honestly....I kind of love it. I get to hang out with quirky teens, work on crazy projects, and talk about all of my favorite artists and artworks. My current classroom takes up both sides of an older trailer parked behind the school. I call this trailer ... View the Post
