Growing Up

Paper collage on painted matte board, 8 x 8 inches

Now that I've shared with you what I spent my summer doing, and had and shared my big breakthroughs (the mother of all awakenings, in my case)...

I'm feeling like being quieter again, less wordy.  I am feeling a lot of joy now, and an aliveness that feels new to me.  An up-on-the-edge-of-my-seat-ness about making practice my life and working with everything that comes to pass, without judgment. 

However, I do have a lot of things to giveaway, so I'll continue doing weekly giveaways for the foreseeable future, whether or not I feel like talking.

The winner of last week's pen giveaway has been notified.  Thanks to all who entered.  There'll be another pen giveaway in the next week or two.  A note about entering:  If something I'm offering appeals to you, please do enter.  Your chances of winning are excellent.  Not that many people have been entering.  I don't think I've ever won anything in anyone else's blog giveaway, but I suspect that's because so many people enter those -- like upwards of 200 or more.  You've got a really good chance here, so do enter.

This week's giveaway is a painted collage with handmade paper on an 8 x 8 inch canvas panel.

To enter the drawing, either leave me an email here, or include your email address in the body of your comment to this post.  I'll do a drawing on Wednesday October 21 and I'll email the winner directly.

Also -- if you're interested in a list of the best of the Buddhist-practice books I've been working with, email me for that.

Have a great week.  Blessings.
