A day painting is better than a day doing anything else.
Painters, understand that statement.
Artists everywhere of every kind understand it too.
Painters know the state of bliss when the sound of the paintbrush is
one with the beating of the heart and the flow of blood through veins.
Painters feel joy when the strokes of hands, tilt of fingers holding brush or charcoal
bring forth the image in the mind to light.
From empty white canvas, a simple circle. The One. Undivided and whole.
One circle, then two, then three.
Draw the Vesica Piscis. Two circles intersect to create the mandorla sacred shape.
One circle, then two, then three, again.
A maiden, a mother, a crone. Honor the women. Call the bees home.
Three Graces. Three Sisters - Corn, Beans and Squash.
A rainbow and a whole universe emerges.
Black and white, yin and yang, light and dark are all contained in the one.
A circle carved in rock, painted on wall, inscribed in heart.
A day painting circles is better than a day doing anything else.
