key to success



Dont be sad blog makes the "can" from the above the reality of our being. "Cut Paste Print Share" project makes the Japanese Proverb our own Thank You.

The real miracles happen at a moment we get to the point of a word "share". That's the magical key to success. While "Thank you" unlocks the closed doors, the sharing of these good news makes the desirable peace our experience.

we are everywhere


The above picture was found on the blog "Gorgeous On Life / Words From The LitterBox …"

At first glimpse, it looks as if the story about the fellowship of cat and dog has nothing in common with our Modus Vivendi club, yet that picture portrays the essence-the spirit of the art therapy. Therefore I felt myself honored with the possibility to make the copy-paste and heartily invite you all to welcome our guest. Thank you dear Gorgeous. You are heartily welcomed to Modus Vivendi.

Art therapy consists not of the paper pictures and not the number of the arranged exhibitions report the success of the healing. The therapy is not the talking about the love, but sharing the love through living in love.

my sickness gave me a lesson

the common style of talking complicates the reality we are experiencing. Though the sunlight not loses its brightness, but the ambiguity appears and the questions darken our eyesight in the result. Thus while listening to the nice conceptions of the works of kindness, I questioned myself, what does that mean? I s our breathing not the work of kindness?

While helping other, I washed myself from all my worries and that was what made the life so precious.
Our works of kindness prove our being alive. So let's rejoice over the possibility to share the love. Welcome to art therapy club Modus Vivendi.
My artworks are waiting for you at Online Gallery and my blog Candleday.
I will greatly appreciate all your comments and heartily thank you for the chance to address you and to rejoice over the light that we have together.

art and life


This photo was taken in the music library. The artist Renate Lusis helps the girls from art school to depict the sounds of music in the language of the color. Members of the art therapy club Modus Vivendi participated here too. The patients were the viewers in the concrete case but they too have learned a lot. The beauty is much more than the kind of shapes in the artworks. The light becomes alive if we not only gaze at the sunbeam and copy what we see at a moment, but make conscious effort to comprehend our emotions and thus respond with our whole life.
