Nature itself is an inspiring Artist always seeking balance against great odds. If you take time in nature and really tune in, really feel it, and really look, you can see its art and find aspects of yourself within it.
For instance:
Do you ever feel like your hard work is not appreciated? Well, look at how hard and long this spider works on its web, and then we humans or a deer, or just the wind destroys if. That little spider just goes somewhere else and creates another one!
You might be drawn to the beauty and sadness of the dying leaves in the Fall. Pick a patch of leaves and let your mind wander. Are you facing an ending in your life like kids leaving home, a job ending, a friendship lost? Remember, those leaves nourish the soil.
Your inner nature is often trying to reveal what you need to know about yourself and about life in general. Let go to your imagination and see what arrives. Enjoy the experience of tapping into Nature's wisdom and magic.
Learn to see the synchronicities between what you notice in the world and what you need to know. Be with it for a while. When you get home, you can write, dance, sing, draw, or collage about it. The possibilities are vast. You can explore your inner balance, as your senses connect with the balance that exists in Nature.
Art and nature provide many opportunities for touching your heart. You might sit by a big, old tree, and listen inside yourself.
