passion begets confidence

Today I was given the opportunity to converse about Living Inquiry and the passion I have for visual awareness and expression.
The conversation took the form of a business meeting that became as much a meeting of hearts as a meeting of minds. I did not struggle to find the words to express my passion, nor did I shrink in the certain knowledge that my academic credentials are limited in this field. I spoke about what I know to be true about what happens when individuals are given a nudge in the direction of Awareness and are given the tools they need to creatively express what they learn within that awareness. I felt the fires fanned within me, igniting anew my deep passion for the power of images to communicate. The long and the short of it was a confirmation of an invitation for me to offer a workshop-- in collaboration with UBC and the Vancouver Art Gallery-- to teach teachers, to ignite this passion in them and equip them to equip others. I feel so encouraged.
