Drawing Lesson
I am not usually one to share 'inspirational' talks or pithy quotes. To be honest, most of that kind of thing leaves me flat - sorry if that seems cynical or jaded, but there's a tendency toward the superficial 'instafix' in this culture that is served by this material.However - I have also been thinking a great deal about the power of art & creativity to open doors to new ways of thinking and being. Especially pertinent to my mind, given the propensity toward tribalism and divisive language and action in the world today.And then I came across this:[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TXEZ4tP06c&w=560&h=315]This little talk by Graham Shaw is all about breaking down patterns of thinking - about understanding better the limitations we impose upon ourselves (and others).It is gentle and fun - and if you are in the tl;dr world - skip to the end if you must - but I do recommend the 15 minutes it takes to view the whole thing.Good stuff for a Monday.Be well.
