South Africa # 14-The Heart of Life

Today's picture is one that I drew during the trance that I described at the end of South Africa # 2. It shows the rhythmic movements of dancers as they whirl under a red and white canopy during a ceremony at Mma Rabotapi's traditional healer school. Sometimes the joy of the creative act allows you to reach past both your training and fears of failure. This was such a time for me-not just above good and bad, but beyond it. We are often so close to the real heart of life and don't even know it.
