DC: Upside Down

such a fun and unique challenge

loving yoga

even though after years i am still a beginner

upside down reminded me of a dozen poses

plus

long ago

a friends son

would put himself upside down every chance he got

i thought that was so Coooool!

note the large rock this is photographed on 

is indeed purple

Montana rocks are awesome!

I found my first fawn of the season,

the tiniest fawn I have ever seen!

Tuesday we had a big storm

thunder for hours, then lightning, hail and rain

lightning hit a tree 40 feet from my cabin

wahoo, LOUD!

Poor tree!

bark and wood all over my yard and forest

it turned my modem 'upside down'

or rather off for two days, till a new one arrived

this is how it looked as the storm moved on:

thank you Patrice for hosting Drawing Challenge

with your thought provoking them:

Upside Down!

hello art friends, 
i have just decided to take a Compassion Course

have you ever heard of non-violent communication?
I had the fortune to enjoy two days with Marshal Rosenberg 
and learn about this form of communicating

i was so impressed
by how simply conflicts can be resolved
needs have a chance of being met
empathy brings us present 
it made me consider, more than any other path
how peace on earth could possibly manifest

you can see two samples of the course
Empathy
and 
Appreciation

it is a 52 week course
one lesson a week
perhaps you would enjoy it too
~

sweet week to you!
