Going Down Your Own Rabbit Hole

In the spirit of intention and listening  . . . I spent my 2019 Spring Break blowing my own mind!  It was a fun journey into my unconscious and mystery and magic of a good story to transport and transcend.  I was just enjoying the wonder of research and then I stumbled upon the audio version of Alice in Wonderland!  I had never read it nor did I really know the entire story . . . some how that escaped my curiousness in childhood. 

I enjoyed finding the text version on a site that also had a through analysis of the story.  I was so inspired and lite up that I even wrote notes about the epiphanies I was having during this time.  I am inspired to draw and paint some aspects of the story that were most profound to me.

Shoshin is a word from Zen Buddhism meaning "beginner's mind." It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying a subject, even when studying at an advanced level, just as a beginner would. Enjoy!

I used the following resource along with the audio book to give me the experience of the original text layout and black and white woodcuts.
