Patterns Emerging from Stillness

Prospect Park Lake

John Casey, 2020

I’m always amazed by the beautiful and complex structures and patterns that emerge when molecules stop moving. In workshops, I've been talking about how the practice of journaling allows for a few minutes of sitting quietly, writing or typing the thoughts that are spinning in my head and putting them in a safe place where they can still. And when reading previous entries, sometimes I see patterns emerge and it feels like things fall into place.
