My favourite painting from last year 💙🧡💛💜 Acrylic on canvas.
“An amateur (literally means ‘lover [of something]’) is generally considered a person who persues a particular activity or field of study independently from their source of income/does not persue it professionally or with an eye to gain.” 🎨
Sámi-Norwegian dharma student (Pemako Buddhism). I love photography and painting. I have hEDS, P.O.T.S and MCAS. I occasionally make posts on indigenous culture and heritage. Welcome!

Love this thought, it’s very wise I think I too will strive to be an amateur this year as well. This brings to mind a classic book on Zen Buddhism ‘Zen Mind, Beginner Mind’ which basically says the same thing about meditation 🧘♀️ to try (or to let go and not try) to experience meditation as though you are a humble student. Namaste 💕💕
Very nice! Yes, I agree. I have heard of that title – never read it though..🙏🏻 Am currently reading too many other books, hehe. But will write it down and check out 😊 xx
