“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” ~ MARY OLIVER
Dear Readers, Community, Friends,
The wonder of things has long provided me peace and solace. I grew up in the flatlands of the midwest, where fall arrived too swiftly. With chilling air and dying leaves, it always surprised me to see thousands of birds take flight against the warm pinks of the early evening sky, shouting their last bursts of life before many months of winter would quell their song. I thought it was my childhood mind that could not understand how so many things could dance with such pure synchronicity. But, over time, I see that some things are, just the way they are. The goal may not be to understand, but sit in the mystery.
Murmuration Series by Nancy Joyce
An artist that captures this phenomenon to perfection is former Ashevillian artist, Nancy Joyce. Now residing and working in her home studio north of Charlotte, Nancy is a prolific artist, allowing her curiosity to guide her into the next series which always results in expressing her mastery of painting in new ways.
So, ... take some time for a quiet pause of wonder. It may offer you a fresh perspective for yourself, and fuel ideas of engagement and growth for your team.
