Creating a Compassionate Life

I am poet.
I have always created.
I consider all art--Life itself--to be poetry--
​a Way toward empathy.

I have worked as an artist and arts advocate all my adult life--
In 2018, I took my first watercolor class; it was a lesson in Joy.
Beginning March 2020, when covid locked us all down,
I chose to ride the love train--to spread Joy not fear:
So, with friends and family, I started sharing
daily Being Now Meditations--
mostly nature and dream studies in watercolor with
Zen text chronicles about beauty moments.
​I have now painted and shared my art
​life story every day for three years;
