white thoughts

This day, then,

belongs to the woods

That secret solace.

Trees bending

in symphony,
cool white thoughts.

I agree, making art IS meditation. Your snowy photos show this so clearly. Quiet places inspire me....such as these.

Kahlil Gibran

A spiritual awakening is often found and developed in a wilderness. It can be a poem or a parable of a deep forest, a mountain meadow or a cactus-studded desert. The outdoor spirit of plein air refreshes and further enables the indoor studio chapel. Each new creative beginning is a confirmation of the simple truth of taking care. And while it may all appear to be self-indulgent and isolating, every thought, every stroke, every caress of the brush adds a small refreshment of meaning and purpose to our universe. "Work is love made visible."
