Painting The Mind White - Dec 28

When you understand the nature of thought, there’s a quiet joy in no longer getting caught in the stories you tell yourself. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on a friend who loves painting on large canvases, filling them with bold splashes of colour. The next day, she paints the canvas white again, ready to reuse it.

For Liz, those bursts of colour mirror the busyness of thought. And just as the canvas is washed back to white, allowing the mind to settle creates space—revealing a deep sense of calm and peace beneath it all.

I love going along with you along the moorlands and hearing your thoughts. And I love this idea of painting my canvas white. Starting afresh. So often I rewind and rerun these same thoughts or variations of the same thoughts. Well, just throw a bucket of white paint over those worn out thinkings! Start fresh with something better. I love it! Thank you, Liz!

That is a wonderful idea, those thoughts are released onto the canvas where she sees them, then deleted. Almost a metaphor for release. And it is like writing.. writing it all down then shredding or burning the words.
Thanks Liz 🙏🏼
