This girl, maybe 9 years old, was sitting alone in the gallery at the Seattle Art Museum, sketching the painting in front of her. It was a gift to be in that room as she sat their silently, sketching, looking up, looking down, sketching.

Keep drawing, young artist, for yourself and for the rest of us.

    Beautiful. More of these and less of those silly movie/tv/whatever they are cuts.

    Hate to break it to you, Sharolyn, but you can likely expect more ridiculous movie/tv/whatever they are cuts in the future, mostly because they make me laugh. No context!

    Joshua - I am just really encouraged that you recognized that moment as a gift; so often we just fly past those moments without realizing the power that they hold. Thanks for letting us share a bit of the gift too!
