TRACY MURRELL

I experience bliss every day through a simple routine. It starts in the morning when I walk my dog, Max. It’s just me and him, no phone, no distractions, walking through our neighborhood. As we walk, I am looking at nature, seeing something new each day and usually laughing at something silly he does. This routine sets the tone for my day. Since the pandemic, I have started listening and connecting to family and friends in a more meaningful way; I’m taking life slower and paying attention to the little things that bring me pleasure. I also understand bliss as a feeling that radiates brightly from a person with an intensity that can be felt by others; the figures I’ve created here reflect that idea.
