Still the Mind....

i did a little porch sitting yesterday with

a praying mantis. i'm fascinated by these

little creatures....though some aren't so

little. i've got several around my porch

that are larger than my hand!

i took this picture of my porch sitting buddy

and turned it into a brush to use in my

art journaling:

there are several lessons praying mantis brings...

one of which is to still your outer mind and go

within.

i need that reminder every so often....

thanks little 

buddy.
