Hope you had a good weekend and were able to make it feel a
bit different from the work week in our isolation. Playing games, video or real board or card
games, perhaps a bit more TV (yes, we are getting real here), making or playing
music, and for me, sleeping a little longer.
With information and stimulation coming to me from different
sources than before, I have noticed my dreams are getting more vivid, and my
ability to remember at least part of them is getting stronger. It has been
shown that the things you look at and think about before sleep can influence
your dreams. So here I suggest another way that art heals. Try to fill your
eyes and your mind with images that soothe or inspire or delight you.
Look at the moon or clouds or flowers in your garden, if you are lucky enough to have one.
Look at art books or art online exploring the work of historical or favorite contemporary artists, everything just a few clicks away.
I leave you with an image that will soothe your slumbers, Helen Zughaib’s Moonlight Fishing. Sweet dreams. Art Heals.
