A Word About Satisfaction

Satisfy.

A word with you about… a word.

Satisfy.

The painting you see here felt satisfying to create.
I could feel it in my body.
Grounding, worthy and true.
Worth reaching for.
Deeply and completely felt.
Satisfying.

Walt Whitman said,

‘Reach for satisfying moments because whatever satisfies the soul is truth.’

Satisfying.

Earthy, as tangible as any emotion could ever be, filling up spaces in us that we didn’t realize were there.

A morning glory at my window satisfies me….
~ Walt Whitman

Satisfying…what an awesome ‘feeling’ word.

When we sit at the table, there is more going on than satisfying hunger….linger under the many spells offered by a good meal—the satisfaction of our hearts, our minds, and our spirits.
~ Leo Buscaglia

Note on the painting shown above: Maybe it was the linen’s natural color, maybe the colors themselves, or maybe the delight of allowing the strokes to unfold into open-ended possibilities of playful moments. Whatever it was, I recognize satisfaction when I feel it. I ended up recreating this one for my Flow peeps so they could perhaps dip into their own satisfied feelings. If you’d like to know more, you can get on the waitlist for our next opening of Flow on April 4th!
