Their vitality inspired me and continues to fortify the energy needed for my own life ’ s work . The thread which blends art , nature , and healing has kept me connected to the benevolence and beauty in life . I believe that creativity reconnects us to our basic goodness , which radiates out and enables us to connect with this primal energy in others . I remind myself of this innate goodness as my family and I continue our recovery from the fire , acknowledging the opportunity for further compassion , loving-kindness toward self , and a deepened sense of empathy towards others -- as we all carry burdens , and find resilience to overcome them .
