“The word ‘comfort’ comes from the Latin words for ‘with’ and ‘strength’ and originally meant operating from a position of power.”- Joseph Chilton PearceI’m learning Kung fu. It’s so freakin’ hard. I’ve barely got the bow-in and offering water to the goddess down. I decided to do it to challenge my brain and learn new ways of moving. It’s pretty uncomfortable to be so uncoordinated again. But I love the grace and strength I feel when I finally coordinate a few movements. The video is a projection of the painting “Aisthesis” which is the Greek word for the heart’s ability to perceive meaning from the world.#kungfu #quote #qotd #josephchiltonpearce #practice #sketchbook #heart #cometoyoursenses #24Kgold #goldleaf #24K #studiolife #craypas #watercolor #kintsugi #kintsukuroi #metaphor #mixedmediaart #experimentalart #artistpov #pdxartists #pdxart #abstract  #pdxartist #artistthoughts #aesthesis #greeks #philosophy #mtbi
