Daily Nourishment from Abbey of the Arts – Christine Valters-Paintner

“When we cultivate compassion and peace in ourselves through art-making, meditation, chanting, yoga, or any number of possible practices, it spills over into the rest of our lives. When we have no intentional practice, we may move through life full of anxiety and resentment, with no way to hold grief and the struggles of life. To have no practice becomes the most arduous kind of practice. When we remember this, returning to our practice comes with greater ease because we recognize how much harder life is without it.”
