I am reading the Zen of Creativity: Cultivating Your Artistic Life by John Daido Loori (2005). I am wondering about art as a contemplative practice. I wonder how I can combine mindfulness and art. In meditation, images have come to me that give me insight. I think I am becoming more trusting of other forms of knowing. This quote spoke to me;
"Creativity is also an expression of our intuitive aspect. Getting in touch with our intuition helps to enter into the flow of life, of a universe that is in a constant state of becoming. When we tap into our intuition, whether in our art or simply in the day-to-day activities of our lives, we feel a part of this creative momentum."
