The art of living lies in the fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
[Havelock Ellis]
My friends recently moved into a new home. They’ve been gathering art. Some was moved from their own home and some is newly purchased. When I came across this Ellis quote, it made me think about their art and the way it represents letting go and holding on, which makes me think about the art in my own home.
This invitation is about art. The art in your home, or the art of living. What is the fine mingling of letting go and holding on?

I need to get back to some art. I’m pondering it and pondering it. This week – it’s a walk and reverie about flowers.

So interesting how what I write often fits in with the prompt — without trying. Thinking about what I wrote it’s about letting go of what’s not important in order to hold on to what is important. Enjoy. https://creativitylovingeducator.com/2022/04/24/teach-for-delight-part-2/
