Your calm, peaceful voice was just what I needed with my coffee this morning. I’m feeling stretched, behind and scattered.
Looking at my view, I see a bright orange and yellow canna lily blooming in a sea of green. After reading your post, I feel like it’s a metaphor. I could continue to be like a moth, flapping wildly around the flame, getting nowhere, getting burned or I can limit my thoughts, make a list, focus, slow down and come out on the other side into a peaceful light.
I know which I choose.
Thank you as always for your words and have an amazing day!
Thank you. Thank you for reading and for taking time to comment and share this moment of looking out the window..... a powerful metaphor you saw there in that lily..... It sounds beautiful, too, and I hope you also drew or painted it! I hope you enjoy balance this week.
I agree some much on the power of limiting. Sometimes just having enough - supplies, rules, limits makes it so much easier to create. I have been trying to limit the tools I use everyday so there is lower barrier to entry. It’s helping.
It is almost counter-intuitive at times, right? But sometimes, limiting opens things up. I love hearing that you are working with systems like this to help streamline your creative work. Have a great week!
Yes, on one end I feel like perhaps I need more to be able make better work! But often, I make my best work when I don’t have all my supplies/when there is a set direction or rule. It is funny!
