Surrender to the Rhythm

I have just completed two more paintings which takes inspiration from Shaun Mcniff's book 'Art Heals'. He offers a stunning array of entry points into the creative process and how to transform the most mundane aspects of life through artistic encounters and to engage with our most painful challenges creatively. I want to share with you a reference he makes to Henry Miller, under the chapter entitled 'Surrender to the Rhythm'.

"I know what the answer is: it is to give up, to relinquish, 

 to surrender, so that our little hearts may beat in unison

with the great heart of the world".
