From today's Expressive Arts without Borders Gathering

Exploring
I am a seed in flight
full of energy, fire and growth
like a volcano taking away what's old
burning the familiar in my flight
What I touch moves, rippling, seeping in
My wings carry me forwards with vigor
Full and strong, fine and tender
Nudged by the finest and most delicate of spirit
Contained in my core a golden light
so brightly shining
Where am I going to land?
Gathering beings reaching for newness
Where will this spark ignite its wonder
Full of life contained and bundled
I am reaching for soil moist and fertile
to let sprout this life inside
to be shared in joy

An ARTHIVE is a place where you dive into exploring with a variety of materials such as paper, paint, brushes, pencils, yarn, glue, found objects from nature, and many other craft and art items. It is an opportunity to allow your inner world to emerge in pictures, forms and shapes. A surprise may offer itself, or perhaps you will make something concrete that allows you to see yourself or the world with new eyes.

As it appears in front of you, your creation may touch something in you. Perhaps it will make you curious and allow you to discover something hitherto unknown that is in you, or give new expression to what you feel and think. Creating, building and playing lets your creative life energy flow. Art making can make you feel calm, relaxed, inspired, fulfilled -- or even simply happy in the act of engaging your hands.

Wooed my love, I rest in thee, emerging from the golden fields, working the soil of my expression with tender intimacy.
Looking within, held in your warm glow. I know you see me.
The soil is rich and full of new life. I am taking stock in its middle. You are nurtured happiness in flow. Joyfully dancing, tenderly holding me. One heart with a face resting in the garden and giving it’s tender care to the seeds.

A clients artwork during a Mandala Painting workshop with women where we just used our hands and fingers.
This one reminds me that the heart is first. The women found words to describe what mattered to them in it.
