Reactivating the passion for drawing …immense amount of joy!!!

Wat a wonderful journey was this: reactivating the passion for drawing from my childhood days after longer than 40 years: standing still from astonishing that I can do this: drawing a Buddha – only with a piece of plain white paper and a pencil! Working myself through so many emotions, the urge and pleasure to draw again .. the happiness to be a creator!.. the modesty and respect of seeing an enlightened person appearing on my paper in front of me.. the struggle of not being able to draw a single lotus leave easily out if my hand … the mindfulness to take two hours for drawing one single line… the dispair to realize how much time I needed to invest in this.. the inner fight to find a balance between the wish for perfection and being confronted with the imperfection of my abilities to handle the techniques.. the immense amount of joy!!! .. .the gratefulness to the Buddha himself that this was brought on my path – and to Carmen, my wonderful, encouraging, talented and wise teacher!! – THANK YOU SO MUCH to everybody: to the Buddha, to my teacher and to my fellow students! Just magical it was! 🙏
