On Being: A Study.

As an artist, I have been asked on many occasions to participate in a "study." A deep looking into, under, around, over, within, through... This is a space where I make room for the practice of observation. The practice of study. An exploration of the act of being; through psychotherapy, emotion, love, art and experience.
Please meet me here.

(Original posting 8/2/14)
So often I see kiddos and adults paused, hovering over their small, lighted devices as the waking 
world around them passes them by. A missed green flash (at sunset), chance meeting, moment of awe inspiring witness (like the paper bag bouncing back and forth in the wind in the film 
American Beauty). And yet, hover still we do... finding out what we need to know right now! Texting a friend meaningless garble, or checking Facebook, because God forbid we don't stay connected... I am just as guilty. 

On a recent road trip to Kentucky I found myself constantly checking my phone to see if anything important had happened... Back when we didn't even have cell phones, what was happening somewhere else did not seem to matter so much... now, not so.
​

Though I find some of this wisdom (Google) that we now have endless access to benefiting our growing wealth of knowledge, there are some very devastating things occurring simultaneously. Not only are we not aware of what is in front of us, we are also involuntarily changing the make up of our brains. This is especially cautionary when considering brain development in children. Hopefully, you are reading this from your desktop, and if you're not, chances are... you're missing something...

A reminder that technology may have further implications on brain development than we thought...
