The Universe Is Smiling: "Possibilities"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
I was playing with drawing ONE uninterrupted single line, starting on the lower left and ending on the upper right. I then colored around the lines, creating shapes. The whole experience was very soothing and the undulating line -going back and forth and around- reminded me of the endless possibilities we actually have, once we open our mind and heart to it. Try it! :)

"The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react."
 - "George Bernhard Shaw
"We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize."
- Thich Nhat Hanh

The Universe Is Smiling: Teeter Totter of Time

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:

Dear Followers, I am overdue with posting a drawing, because I spent every minute this week tweaking my website for the visibility on different browsers and I am still not done yet. So, I was about to put the drawing off for another day, but my "inner voice" said:

Come on now! Don't be so serious. Keep it simple. You can balance the teeter totter of time - and so can YOU :) 

 And here is the perfect quote for the day:

"I vow to let go of all worries and anxiety in order to be light and free"

- Thich Nhat Hanh
