I need to incorporate more of both mindfulness and compassion into my life. I spent the day writing a verse from Rig Veda in calligraphy and then illustrating it. When the project was almost finished I see a glaring mistake- after all the planning, measuring, copying and recopying, checking and rechecking I had managed to completely omit a word in the very first line. The whole thing had to be trashed --no way to salvage any of it! So, now I am trying to convince myself that it was a good practice session and I can move on to painting the real thing. I get to dip into my collection and post a painting I did a year ago - Coconuts in watercolor; 7 1/2 x9 1/2"
