EMERGING
Unveiling the Magic in Everyday Life
There is more of YOU

(yes, the weird and uncomfortable parts too)

Hi, I'm Karen Queller
M.A Expressive Arts Therapy
Welcome to
EMERGING
1:1 Expressive Arts Therapy online
Come Home to Yourself
through embodied & creative exploration
YOU ARE CREATIVE!
You DO belong here.
We do not need to make 'good' or 'pretty' art (although we can!).
It is perfectly fine to make 'bad' or 'ugly' art here.
One thing I love about art is that it has the capacity to hold us all in every situation.
Nothing and nobody is too much, not enough, too this or too that for art.
Art is one of the most human practices we have.
Art welcomes it all.
Welcome Home
Creativity is not just something you do. It is a way of being in the world.
There is so much inside of you that wants to be expressed!
You feel a lot. You think a lot. You want a lot.
Through mindfulness, creativity, and resource-oriented therapeutic work,
we transform the challenges into the gifts that grow legs to carry you forward.
Through mindfulness, creativity, and resource-oriented therapeutic work,
challenges are transformed into gifts, questions are played with,
We enter into a relationship with what is wanting to EMERGE.
And then we simply experiment, so you can learn what works and what works a little bit less.

But somehow you feel stuck...
Stuck in your head
Thinking, analyzing, doubting,
and trying to figure it all out. Perfectionism keeps you from starting.
And you want to get into your body!
Disconnected
Numb, dry, passionless, and purposeless. You don't feel present with life.
Feel More!
Over-Managing
controlling, over-efforting, capable, but burnt out and tired of trying to do it all alone
Let it be Easy!
Overwhelmed
there are so many to-dos and you always feel like you're not doing enough or are falling behind.
...Or maybe you just want to feel more YOU!
In Transition
Something is ending, and the next steps are unfolding. You want time & space to explore.
Holding Back
You've been shutting down, freezing, going small or quiet, but there is so much inside you.
More Aliveness
You've talked, you've tried traditional therapy, but things don't change.
Craving Creativity
There's always an excuse, and always tomorrow. Somehow your creativity keep getting pushed aside.
You cooould keep pushing... Forcing your way forward is an option, but it's not fun, It's exhausting. It's boring. It's also not nourishing, or sustainable and it sucks the aliveness out of life. This way of living leaves the soul feeling dry, and the soul is happy when it's wet.
Whatever brought you here...
You are here because you are ready for transformation. There is something pulling you toward a more meaningful, embodied, creative and aligned life.
Creativity helps us to transform these challenges into the gifts that carry us forward
Do Less/ Let go
What if....
What if you could put everything down that you didn't want to carry anymore? What if you could let go of all the outside noise and hear yourself again? What if you didn't have to do it all alone and could let life meet you half way?
What if there is another way?
What if you let go of the efforting & let life meet you half way.
Transform
fear of the unknown into adventure.
Analysis paralysis into embodied experimentation
Questions into creative conversations
numbness and avoidance into sensuality and feeling
Holding back into expression.
A more fun way
A more spacious way
A more nourishing way
A more soulful way
More Possibilities. Imagine. Imagination. Imaginatively.
Imagine....
A new way of being in the world
Expressive Arts is a laboratory for life.
The creative studio space reveals the same patterns showing up in your work, relationships, choices, body, and sense of self. The studio mirrors the patterns showing up outside the studio.
Expressive Arts Therapy teaches you how to engage with life differently. These are not merely session, our meetings are a portal into the sacred, where change becomes possible in real time, through meeting our senses, and responding creatively.
Instead of ......
"I have six ideas and I can't figure out which one is the right one."
Imagine....
Choosing one small experiment, trying it, noticing what happens, and letting what you discover inform the next step.
Instead of ......
"I'm fine. I just don't want to deal with it."
Imagine....
Letting yourself feel one small piece of it, without having to solve the whole thing.
Instead of ......
"I don't know how to say what I feel."
Imagine....
Trusting yourself to let an image, gesture, sound, or metaphor say it first.
Instead of ......
"I'm not creative"
Imagine....
Getting curious instead of trying to be good
What kinds of challenges can we work on together?
Career - Relationships - Habits - Purpose - Transitions - Self-Worth
...The Possibilities
Being an artist makes us more well adjusted individuals. The more creative... the more alive. the more we inhabit ourselves.
Practice another way of being in the world.
Notice. Relax. Smile. Create.

Integration
A space to let go.
A space to listen.
A space to not need to know
A space to allow.
A space to take up space.
A space to embody what you are becoming
Most importantly, we listen to what is wanting ot EMERGE in the session, and that might look different for each person depending on the day or even the moment.This is a space for YOU to do YOU!! My desire is that you feel free to take up space here and follow what feels nourishing moment by moment.
Every invitation is always just that, an invitation. You can say YES! NO! I'm not sure, what if we try doing something else. If all you want to do in the session is lay on the floor, because that's what actually feels good to you, DO IT! We create space for you to try things, to make mistakes, to be imperfect, and then to just... try again.

This isn't just an art class. And this isn't just therapy.
Through being in a therapeutic container while making art, amazing things can happen.
Making art isn't only FUN (although it is). It brings profound changes into our lives.

The transformation
How Expressive Arts Will Change Your Life.
This work isn't only about feeling different in a session. It's about developing capacities you can carry with you into the rest of your life.
Through our work, you practice how to:
Sessions are not just therapy. They are practice for the life you are wanting to live.
Notice more
Become more aware of what your body, emotions, imagination, environment and experience are telling you.
Hear yourself
Recognize your own desires, impulses, needs and inner knowing beneath all the noise, expectations, and the "shoulds"
Creative Possibilities
Learn to move beyond the options you already know. Use imagination, curiosity and creative thinking to discover perspectives, connections and solutions you couldn't see before.
Why this work matters so deeply???
You've probably learned a lot of ways to move through life: think harder, try more, get it right, be productive, be responsible, push through, follow the plan.
But beneath all the shoulds, expectations, habits and outside noise, there is your own inner wisdom and your own rhythm.
You have your own bodily impulses
Your own timing
You have your own desires
Your own ways of knowing
You have your own special gifts
Your very special ways of being YOU
Through our creative and embodied practices, we strengthen capacities that help you listen more closely, experiment more freely, meet uncertainty with greater flexibility, and have more ways to respond when life doesn't go according ot plan. These are all capacities that help
YOU BE MORE YOU
So that you can be more YOU!!!
Because you are the one and only YOU.
Creative Capacities
How Expressive Arts Will Change Your Life
Expressive Arts will make your life better in the most profound ways that can be translated into any area of your life. work. relationships. health. finances. etc.
When we build new capacities, we don't just approach art differently, we approach life differently.
Presence
I can slow down. I can notice what's here. I can feel more.
So that I feel more connected to my body, my pleasure, my relationships, and the life that is happening now.
Curiosity
I can wonder. I can ask. I can discover.
So that life feels more open, interesting, and full of possibility.
Play
I can experiment. I can be imperfect. I can enjoy the process
So that creating and living feel lighter, freer, and less pressured.
Letting Go
I can soften. I can release my attachment to the outcome. I can stop gripping so tightly.
So that I feel more spacious, flexible, and able to meet what comes next.
Trust
I can listen. I can let the process unfold without knowing all the details. I can be supported.
So that I feel less need to control every outcome and more ease moving through uncertainty.
Self-Expression
I can show myself. I can use my voice. I can let more of me be seen.
So that I feel more spacious, flexible, and able to meet what comes next.
Intuition
I can sense. I can hear my own knowing. I can trust myself
So that I feel clearer about what is mine, what I want, and what feels right for me.
Confidence
I can grow. I can act. I can take up space.
So that I feel more capable, expressive, and actively moving towards what matters to me
And over time you are able to meet life more fully and authentically so that you can feel more aliveness, pleasure, and more YOU.
You develop more resilience when things change. More freedom to rest when rest is needed. More courage to act when something wants action. More willingness to take a risk, change direction, make a mistake, try again, or follow something you didn't plan.
Not because you suddenly have all the answers.
Because you have developed more ways of listening, responding, creating, and moving forward.

"Karen brings soul into the room"- Markus
Hi, I'm Karen
Let me take you on a journey...
As a lifelong traveler, I bring adventure into our sessions. I love asking the question of 'Where will we end up when we allow life to take us for the ride".
I am a traveler of the heart, mind, and soul. I love going deep into different worlds. Weather that is through visiting countries, expanding my artistic repetoire, through intimate connections with beautiful souls, or inside my own psyche and inner landscape. I'm an adventurer. An explorer. I try to see the fun, beauty and wonder in this life. I believe there is more here that we can not see, but we must develop the capacities to know within our being.
I like putting my feet in dirt
I am in a debate with time
I love hugs and cuddles
I feel deeply
I get dreamy when a warm breeze touches my face
I run a very eclectic ship. I like variety, which is why Expressive Arts Therapy is an absolutely perfect fit for me. I don't like to feel limited. I love having options, wearing any color I want to, spending an hour screaming, the next hour dancing, the next hour, writing a new story, the next hour planning a trip to Morrocco. I'm a wild creature. I love being open to what life wants to send my way. As such, I've been all over the world, met some of the most beautiful people, have had all kinds of crazy experiences (maybe I'll tell you a story sometime over tea...), and have learned about life from villagers in Nepal, yogis in the Himalayas, children in Fiji, and Magicians and storytellers from every corner of the planet. I've searched high and low to meet the best of the best (SERIOUSLY!). I've lived nomadically for years, explored many alternative communities, and learned about life through the eyes of locals. I've learned that there are so many ways to see and do life, there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way. I've also learned that at the end of the day we all just want to love and feel loved. We want to feel connected. And we want tools and channels to express ourselves, and to play, and to create, and to be in an active and nourishing relationship with life itself. I've had all of these experiences so that I can embody these teachings and carry this wisdom forward to YOU, and so that you may take these teachings and carry them forward through you, in your own special way. Pretty beautiful huh.... For me LIFE IS....... short and precious and a cabaret!(I told you already - I like having options) And I want to live it deeply. I want to celebrate it masterfully. And I want to help you do the same.
See More of My World...
I'm a highly multi-modal artist. Why choose when we can have it all baby!!!
"Karen is MAGNIFICENT!!!" - Me
What if you already are the person you are trying to become, and our job here is simply to help you be more YOU!??
There is no 'right' way to do this life. There is YOUR way. You get to make up your own rules, make it fun, and follow what lights you up (even if you don't know what that is yet). That is what we're doing here. We are removing all the layers of gunk that stand in the way of you remembering how incredibly AMAZING you are, and we are shining a light on all the things that make you smile, and your heart exhale in relief.
How do we do all that you ask? We enter the world of art, imagination, experimentation, and your own inner wisdom that has a lot of things to express!
Expressive Arts is a Practice
Over time and experiences you learn how to feel yourself, follow impulses, recognize desires, let emotions move through you, trust your intuition, and be in the world in a different way. With curiosity, wonder, imagination, and beauty.
Through this practice you build confidence, trust, and embodied wisdom that helps you be fully you in the world, and more and more in alignment with your spirit/soul/higher calling.
Not only are you doing therapy here. You are becoming an artist.
Someone who sees, feels, and experiences the world differently. And artists are magicians. We know how to transform material into gold. We know how to be unapologetically different. We know how to find beauty in times that feel grey and lifeless. We are Artists. The world needs our valuable expression.
You do not need to already feel like an artist to participate here. Just come with a willingness to try something new and an openness to be touched.
Less Thinking.
More Living.
Why Expressive Arts Therapy?
Experiences Create Embodied Knowing
This work brings you into connection with the soul.
Art + Therapy.
Not just talking. not just making art.
brings static into action
invisible into visible forms we can play with
work is often very present tense. We follow your stregnths, and what does work instead of endless digging into your past, same stories that keep you spinning. get present. look forward. Resource oriented- The wisdom is within you!!!
This isn't just an art class. And this isn't just therapy.
Through being in a therapeutic container while making art, amazing things can happen.
Mental analysis can only take you so far. What your body, soul, and mind are really craving is movement, experimentation, connection to your body, your desire. You need contact with materials, and the parts of you that don't communicate in a neat sentence.
We use materials, imagination, etc. to have experiences to bounce ourselves off of. so we know where we are. what we feel. what we want.
What you are actually craving is contact with life!
Raw, messy, wild, ugly, beautiful, mysterious, sensual, weird, honest contact.

Creative Process = Life Process
The creative realm mirrors your life. What reveals itself while you create, can reveal information about how you move through life. As you make, you may notice how you respond to uncertainty, mistakes, choices, control, and the unexpected. This laboratory becomes a small, low-stakes laboratory for life where you can experiment with not knowing, making a 'wrong mark', following impulses, or allowing something to change.
The challenges we overcome, and stregnths we discover while making art, give us valuable and embodied understanding about what might be possible in your daily life.
More analysis doesn't create more clarity.
Experiences Create Clarity
You need movement, experimentation, contact with your body, contact with desire, contact with materials, contact with the parts of you that don't communicate in a neat sentence.
You need contact with life - raw, messy, mysterious, weird.
Follow what nourishes
Sometimes, in order to come home to yourself, you first need to go on a journey into the unknown. This helps you leave the old identity and the stuckness behind, so you can find new possibilities that weren't present before. This is a very uncomfortable place for many of us. We like certainty. But if we can learn to make friends with the unknown, we can go to incredible new places.
The Creative Process allows us to dip our toes into this realm. The more we enter into the creative unknown, the more we can find peace, joy, pleasure, trust, calmness, in our life's unknowns. As we enter into the creative space, we develop capactities not only to develop ourselves as artists, we also develop capactities that allow us to feel balanced, joyful, at ease, in flow, instead of stuck, scared, anxious, overwhelmed, out of control and frozen.
The more we can learn to open our senses, listen, and receive creative inspiration, the greater our capacity becomes to allow movement and respond to life. THIS is what we are doing here.
Imagine..... situation that they can see this in..... how does it actually help them in life..
What kinds of challenges can we work on together?
What if painting wasn't just painting, but helped you understand how to let go of attachment, so that you could finally send the proposal you've been agonizing over.
Career
What if showing up in the 'studio', gives you the practice to finish your dream project you've almost abandoned
Habits
How do the arts translate into life?
What if movement, wasn't just movement, but released stored emotion you didn't even know was inside you, so you could finally have that difficult conversation you've been avoiding for years.
Relationships
What if ritual, wasn't just symbolic, but helped you mark that something is truly over, so you could stop living half inside your old life and begin inhabiting what wants to come next?
Transitions
What if improv, wasn't about performing, but helped you know how to follow your instincts, so that you could sign up for the class, trip, idea, or opportunity that actually excites you?
Purpose
Self-Worth
What if making sound wasn't about singing well, but about letting yourself take up space without explaining yourself, so you could speak more clearly in the places where you usually shrink, edit, or doubt yourself?
"Karen is AMAZING! and my favorite person on this earth, and I love her dearly" - Me
You might still be wondering...
Is this for me?
What if i'm not creative?
I don't have time to make art
It seems fun... but is it useful?
Can I make ugly art? YES! please do!!!
How? Where? I'm not an artist. I don't have time. I don't even know what I want to do or say. My body feels shut down. I'm scared. What will people think? Am I going to feel awkward? I have too many responsibilities. I should do other stuff. Maybe tomorrow.... There is always something keeping your passion, your pleasure, your sensitivity, your life on the backburner.
There's other stuff to do. Maybe if you keep pushing, you will finally get where you want to be and then there will be time to do the fun stuff, the stuff that lights your soul on fire!
I don't believe that works. I believe life is asking us to live fully, NOW. Here. Imperfectly. raw. messy. as we are. Not when we finally become perfect or are on vacation. Not when we've finally burnt ourselves out that our bodies are screaming and begging for us to slow down and connect more deeply to ourselves. life. nourishment.
If this is you, you are not alone. Society has taught us to do more, be faster, more efficient, and more optimized. We are more disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, eachother, and nature than ever before. Many of us experience numbness, illness, depression because of it.
Expressive Arts teaches us how to come back into connection with the very things that make us feel connected, purposeful, and give our lives meaning. Our sensitivity and sensuality, become the bridge back into the world where we feel fulfilled, rooted, our hearts beating as one with the greater mystery.
Pleasure and freedom are available NOW. Everyday. Truly. Not just once we get the house, or have the kids, or get the raise, or get 20k followers, or figure 'it' out. It's available every day. As we take out the trash. As we wait in lines. As we feel our stuckness. The practice is in slowing down, paying attention, and becoming curious and available enough to engage with the beauty that is always here for us.
The Buts...
The secret is our sensuality

Re-Connect
with your essence
It's Time to Wake Up Your Senses!
We are ALIVE!!!
It's time to FEEL
We live in a world that makes it increasingly easy to detach from our bodies. We can work, connect, shop, plan, learn, and create without moving. In our practice together we deliberately return to the senses. We touch, move, make, notice, experiment, and discover what becomes possible when we give space to our sensual nature.
The more you connect with your senses, the more you connect with your essence.
Body
What happens when you stop explaining and notice sensation?
Material
Clay pushes back. watercolor runs. charcoal smudges. materials have personalities. You respond to them.
Nature
Sometimes we remember ourselves by noticing what's already alive around us.
Image
sometimes a color knows something before yu do.
Movement
Let your body answer the question
Sound
What wants to be sighed, hummed, whispered, shouted?
Story
What changes when your problem becomes a character
What others have said..
"Karen is AMAZING! and my favorite person on this earth, and I love her dearly" - Me
Let yourself be supported along the journey.
you don't have to know exactly what's wrong. You don't need to be certain this will work. We can start with one conversation about where you are, what isn't moving, and what you want more of.
You don't have to do it all alone.
You don't have to be ready, just willing to try something different
Here we practice messy, imperfect, experimentation. we start before we feel ready.
and we just try. see what happens. receive information. maybe make some changes and try again.
This is the creative process, and YOU and your life are a creative process!
I want you to feel ALIVE, connected, free, and joyful again!! You know there is more aliveness available for you. And yes sometimes it's easier to pretend that we don't know. To look the other way. To just hope that something changes, but we can help that process along. Something magical happens when you feel supported. You start to feel safe enough to let go of AALLLLLLLL the stuff you've been carrying quietly on your own. When you feel supported, your body starts to unfreeze, to loosen. You're heart can come back online. You can hear your soul whispers more clearly. Your focused intentions allow the universe to respond more fluidly. We are currently in a loneliness epidemic. We are more individualized and disconnected than ever before. We were never meant to do it all on our own!! There is support available for you. And I am honored to walk the path with you, exploring and making discoveries along the way.
The world is a crazy place text.
It's ok to Slow Down
What happens when we slow down enough to listen?
.png)
.png)
What would it take for you to be an incredibly happy and fulfilled 100 year old looking back on their life? We want to create that life for you, NOW.
Now it's time to follow that thread of curiosity!
When everything feels complicated come back to simplicity.
Come back to your senses. Come back to presence. Come back to simple pleasures. Come back to your intuition. Come back to sunshine on your face. Come back to the smell of oranges. come back to colors moving across a paper. come back to the curious being within you. Come back to what you ACTUALLY want, instead of what you think you SHOULD want, come back to your heart. Come back to love. Come back to admiring the stars. Come back to beauty. Come back to really feeling alive again instead of walking around in numb zombie mode
Come back home to yourself
Stay with the questions.
My teachers taught me not to be too quick to find the answers. Questions are a profound way to deepen the creative process and find your own, organic way through it. Enter your info to receive a weekly question & creative prom to explore, and guide your week. This can be a profound creative ritual if you allow it to be.
Material
Clay pushes back. watercolor runs. charcoal smudges. materials have personalities. You respond to them.
If you would like a creative fortune cookie/or to find out what your creative perception language is (auditory, kinesthetic, visual....?)(which artist you were in a past life)
The field responds, the moment we say yes. So dear one, what are you saying YES to?? But I encourage you to focus on no more than 3 words that you are bringing into your heart, and stepping into .
Need a Recap?
Why Expressive Arts?It is simply the most soulful, nourishing, delightful, beautiful, deep, expansive, all-encompassing work that i've found. Whatever your challenge or desire is, bring it. The arts can hold us. It blows my mind how generous and full of range this work is. seriously.
Many other methods tell you how to do something. This one really just helps you find your very own way through this life. You get to make up your own rules here.
Why Expressive Arts Therapy??
It's time to bring those peices HOME
Home to yourself. Home to life.
Remember what if feels like to trust yourself? Remember what it feels like to feel joy because a hummingbird came to your window? Remember what it feels like to even notice that the hummingbird came to your window and to actually pause and admire it?? Or let it make you wonder.... about beauty, and creatures, and nature, and how can those wings even move so fast?!?!
When we let ourselves be touched by life, we know we're alive.... otherwise, we're kind of just on autopilot. Numb. Going through the motions without feeling the zest of life with us. The joy. The mystery. The beautiful surprises.
We create a space for YOUR authentic expression, not Johnny's or Annie's or Sarah's or Melanie's.
Just yours.
This is more than typical talk therapy
We work within the sacred realm. Both of us are asked to surrender inside the container, in a portal between time and space.
Why work with Me? Because i'm awesome as you can see! And I truly believe that you have all the inner wisdom that you need within you. I believe life is supposed to be fun and I want us to celebrate it deeply. I can play hard, and I can go with you into the depths of your emotions or challenges that need to be felt, explored, released, and transformed. I also have a strong connection to spirit. Many people who are seeking a stronger connection to their own spirituality find their way to me. And i'm pretty weird, so you don't have to worry about being too weird in front of me. I gotchya.
Who I may not be best for. . . people who want a quick fix. Or a do A,B,C method way of working. I deeply believe in the Emergence, meaning that as we surrender, the creative process or pieces themselves help us find flow and reveal itself to us.. If you are willing to go into the unknown this could be a great fit for you.
and I want you to know, I FULLY TRUST in your inner wisdom and light!
I am not here to tell you how to change, and fix yourself, and be different.
NO!!
I am here, doing what I do because I SEE you.
If you are on this page reading these words it means you are special, and there is so much inside you that really really wants to come out (even if you haven't admitted that out loud yet, secretly you know it's true)
My job here is to help you be MORE YOU.
I also believe my work is to help you feel connected to something greater... wheather that is spirit, nature, your community, your ancestors, or the world of creativity and artists (this is deeply personal and different for each person). We can't do this life alone. The more supported we feel, the more resilience and courage, and love we will keep cultivating in our hearts. You are not alone my friends, eventhough sometimes it can feel like it.
Why Now? It's a small experiment. It's a low stakes way of starting to move some energy. You really have nothing to lose. Saying yes now is one of the ways that you open yourself up to the universe and say 'I'm open and ready to receive!'. The work starts as soon as you say yes. And after you say YES, we just experiment. We have a call, or a session, and you can feel things, you think things, you sense things. You can feel if this path feels energizing, empty, or depleting. You PARTICIPATE with the field, instead of looking at if from the outside and continuing the analysis paralysis.
So if you feel some energy moving in your body, mind, heart as you visit this site, Book a Free Discovery call.
Because we need you. NOW. Seriously.
We need YOU. Not Betty and Bob or Laura and Joe.... The world needs YOU!!
You are the only YOU there will EVER be!!! EVER. There never was a never you before and there never will be another you again. .... Let that sink in for a second....
You've probably noticed that our world is changing. Fast. With our current lifestyles people are feeling more disconnected, sedentary, and pressured. The world asks us to constantly produce more, be better, try harder, work faster and do all of that largely on your own!
What the heck?!?!? And we are just supposed to do all that with no problems??
Nope.
The challenges are real. The anxiety is real. The depression is real. The not-enoughness is real.
We were never supposed to be able to do all that on our own.
Over time, the pieces of ourself become fragmented. We try to be the best parents to our children, and the best bad-asses at work, and SPECIFICS....
But our WHOLE gets divided. our attention and energy get scattered. So soon we feel that we are never truly present where we are, and what we are doing is never enough. The world asks so much of us.
You miss the version of you that doesn't have to be more optimized, or productive, or more healed. You miss the version of you that can disappear into making things. feel wonder. trust your instinct. isn't performing for others but living from the inside out.
Life is short and it wants us to live fully and Celebrate!
You get to feel playful again, you get to take up space just for you, you get to feel pleasure and joy, you get to feel relaxed, you get to remember how to trust yourself and trust life again. You get to feel more YOU.
without agains??

Love At the end of the day, all of this comes down to love. When you are 110 years old looking back at your life, you will remember how open your heart was and how deeply you loved here. I want you to feel very fulfilled when that day comes. In the meantime, try writing yourself a letter from love, or write a love letter to someone you love, or perhaps to a stranger If you'd like to be inspired and inspire others, share your letter with a community of love-letter- writers, submit HERE and join author of 'Big Magic', and 'Eat, Pray, Love', Liz Gilbert and her project 'letters from love'. Or, you might want to write a little note, roll it up, and stick it on a stranger's car window. The world could definitely use some more surprises and LOTS more kindness.
