Perseverance: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc.,especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
Some of my students have had great difficulties this past year with either enduring tremendous physical suffering, or experiencing the loss of loved ones and even a spouse. Through it all, they continue to persevere.
Drawing and painting has always been and continues to be a tremendous source of therapy and healing for me. The following words are from something I wrote on my website:
"I love what painting teaches me about life, and I love what life teaches me about painting. I love that I can paint what I feel, and I especially love how I feel when I paint.
I love that the painting experience lightens pain, and gives wings of flight to fettered human limitations.
I love the way painting causes me to look to a source greater than myself for inspiration and guidance.
I love knowing that although I cannot sing with my voice, my paintings are like a song that will resonate through the years, even after I’m gone." - Jill Saur
