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.

The intuitive mind

This morning I came upon a quote by Albert Einstein which brilliantly illustrates an idea which has been growing in me for a while now. It has to do with my way of perceving things in art as well as in life. In fact, I also find myself wanting to honor the intuitive mind more and more in my way of teaching.

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

This afternoon I went for a walk to Mont Saint-Grégoire with Jacob, Élène, Béatrice and Madeline. I love walking throughout the year, but walking in the Fall enables me to enjoy the beauty of the coloured trees, to give thanks, and also to connect to and nourish this intuitive mind of mine.
