All That is Needed is TIME

When I enter the lounge of a nursing home, I find a table, spread out my art supplies, sit down and start working on my art. There are curious faces all around. Many individuals wheel up in wheelchairs. Some hobble over with the help of an aid or nurse. I place art supplies in front of them and quietly say, “Feel free to create something.” It gets quiet as they do, one at a time. Some may sit for 30 minutes to an hour, as the creative juices rise to the top….and then happily create something. There is quiet focus, each of us on our own projects. There is no hurry to finish. I am there for the afternoon…and so are they.
