Sand Art

I think everyone has reached that point in the semester..the point where even the most basic school- related task feels like the equivalent of trying to haul a backpack of cement up a freaking mountainside...during a snowstorm...with no shoes on..while fighting pneumonia..you get the idea. This is probably why I find this video so inviting. It's just so easy: easy to watch, easy to digest, and easy to contemplate, though contemplation isn't even really necessary. I love to "create," and enjoy watching others as they move through the creative process as well. This video is an ode to art, creation, and simplicity. It demonstrates the impermanent nature of that which we create, and subsequently leads me to ponder the very transient nature all things. It is relaxing to watch the artist move from picture to picture, and if nothing else, will allow you to “turn off your brain” for 8 minutes and appreciate something that is not prescribed on a syllabus. Cheers…
