Painting As Spiritual Practice: Life Lessons Learned, One Brushstroke At A Time
Painting As Spiritual Practice: Life Lessons Learned, One Brushstroke At A Time

Spiritual truths often arrive wearing unexpected disguises. It’s wrong to assume that the only way to get ‘there’ is by sitting in deep meditation on a mountaintop. True, that method might work for you, but there are limitless ways to arrive at some of the deeper understandings about the nature of Life that don’t require walking traditional routes. Take painting for example . . .

Life: A Work In Progress
Life: A Work In Progress

Each one of our precious, unique Lives are essentially works in progress . . . collectively composed of little 'chips' here and there applied over long stretches of time. And ever-so-slowly with great patience and a continuously evolving sense of inner understanding, forms take shape, things and ideas gradually make more sense . . . destinies become more clearly defined.

Every day I play around with acrylic paints. I try to mix the ‘right’ colors and then throw up some prayers that maybe I’ll be able to bring whatever canvas I’m working on to life. It’s an arduously slow process; paintings take months to finish. But it’s gotta be done! To all the creatives out there who labor at their craft: Blessings and THANKS! @christopherpalbickiartist #acrylicpainting #artwork #doyourthing #makestuff #painting #paintmixing #blessings #thanks #studiotime #happysaturday ❤️😃🙏🕉🎨

“Civilization is an experiment, a very recent way of life in the human career, and it has a habit of walking into progress traps. A small village on good land beside a river is a good idea; but when the village grows into a city and paves over the good land, it becomes a bad idea. While prevention might have been easy, a cure may be impossible: a city isn’t easily moved. This human inability to foresee - or to watch out for - long-range consequences may be inherent to our kind, shaped by the millions of years when we lived from hand to mouth by hunting and gathering. It may also be little more than a mix of inertia, greed, and foolishness encouraged by the shape of the social pyramid. The concentration of power at the top of large-scale societies gives the elite a vested interest in the status quo; they continue to prosper in darkening times long after the environment and general populace begin to suffer.” @christopherpalbickiartist #moderntimes #2018 #willwesurvive #civilization #progress #humans #badideas #foolishness #gambling #uncertainty #wakeup #awakening #seethrough 🙏🙏🙏🙏
