art & life

This section comes from my heart. It is at once and ode to the art of everyday living, a praise of ordinariness,what caught my attention, food for thought, images of my observations from nature which is for me an inestimable teacher. It is also nourished by ideas and ways of seeing, favored excerpts collected from my readings. This section is to share. I have no agenda other than sharing what resonate on the sinuous path of inner quest and transformation.

L’homme qui coupait des arbres

As you might already know, my son Zacharie Potvin Williams is part of a contest organized by the National Gallery of Canada. This is a friendly invitation to vote before May 5 (if you belong to Facebook) and for you to spread the word. Zacharie did a Chinese ink drawing on the problematic of deforestation. He is in 17th position right now. So close to his goal!
