meditating with metal

this week was all about making pieces, small and large... getting into zen mode... 


'move and the way will open.'
 ~ zen proverb


'only from the heart can you touch the sky.'
~ rumi


(obvious)


'fall down seven times
stand up eight.'
~ japanese proverb




'actions send out ripples
karma brings them back.'



working in this way can be so relaxing - trying to grab a hold of thoughts and feelings and bringing them to life...
