It looks like it was an amazing experience! I think making the effort to express ourselves artistically, despite our own perception of our artistic abilities, is a courageous and generous act... Inspiring! Hey Mara- I finally got to check out your flickr pictures from Art and Soul- I love the images, and the cello painting is really gorgeous. It looks like it was an amazing experience!

I admire people who push themselves into uncomfortable situations in the interest of learning and experiencing new things. I'm also a raging introvert. I prefer to hang out on the couch with the laptop, a good book, or a movie. I'm finding that more time I spend outside of my comfort zone, the better I get at venturing out. I really try to push myself into all sorts of crazy situations just to see if I can survive them. :-) Pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone can be really difficult, but also so rewarding.

I love reading your printed thoughts. They are like harmonics to my own... or maybe variations on a theme. The impetus of my comment: I've recently considered if the purpose of religion is to help each one of us find our connection to a greater whole - not a unified, homogenous clod but a tapestry. keep posting! hello cousin.
