Amid the beautifully ornate resting place of Toronto’s early settlers,
Resting among long growing trees,
There is quiet.
Quietly, locals stroll casually noticing names and dates.
History is apparent,
Obvious.
Seeing engraved dates marking past lives
May bring reflection, pauses even.
As I set towards the exit, looking at the unpaved downhill path,
I was stopped by this sign.
Solitude and magnitude can co exist.

The sign I’ve shared here is a point to ponder.
This is a moment of feeling held amid the great wide world.

Shifting the gaze
Stepping a bit to one side
Then the next
Stopping.
Taking another picture.
Uncertain about the framing.
Try again.
Step back,
This is process.
It’s a strategy to capture a moment.

I wonder some days where I would go on a vessel bound for the place of my dreams. What would I take? Could I avoid all the things that feel encroaching or could surrendering to nature, to the larger eco system hold me, relieve me of for just a short spell?

Surprises pop out, hop out any time and any place. Are you tuned in to your surroundings enough to notice? Are you on the look out? Can you also look with curiosity?

Art therapy is about making meaning of the things that you are curious about. Curiosity can be a picture of something that captures your eye. It can be a collage of images that catch your attention or a scribble you make with a new pastel. All of it moves what is within.
