Sending Love

Sending our love across the country to those who are suffering

– we hold you in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. ~L & A

We are pausing for a few moments of silence & meditation every hour this weekend

with "This Zen Life." If you would like to join us: A Call to Heart Action

My dream day? Well, it comes in many forms but what immediately comes to mind is travel. I love to travel and see the world – to explore another place, another culture, another way of doing things. I always return with a fresh perspective and charged with creativity energy.

Today, the time I spent capturing the light in my garden sent me into a peaceful, meditative state -a bit of inside travel, you might say. A gentle breeze perfumed the air and with these intricate beauties beckoning me, I was on my way—

Art Feature - Wade Hoefer

Alturus

Wade Hoefer, edited by lb for linenandlavender.blogspot.com

"For Hoefer each work is a mandala, a meditative device that allows the viewer to enter, through the work, into a deeper world. His choice of subject matter stems from our common understanding of the landscape: it becomes a visual vocabulary, a lexicon that can be endlessly repeated. For like the Sung painters of ancient China, the landscape becomes a vehicle for an inner voyage that can take the viewer into a spiritual world." -excerpt from Wade Hoefer website.
