“Every artist was first an amateur.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Every artist was first an amateur.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I’m walking through a time of low productivity. I’m resisting doing some writing work that I need to finish. So, I’ve been looking at my feelings around this issue. Looking at my powerlessness and asking for help from the Lord to write. I finished two pieces of work today, which was progress. I’m realizing that sometimes even when I’m on an off day, like today, that I can’t force the creative process. Sometimes I just need to give myself the extra time to percolate. I’m also learning that I don’t know everything that there is to know, about why I have an off day or an on day. I know quite a bit about my process, but not everything. It’s a good place to be. I don’t want play god with myself or anyone else. It’s important to keep learning to wait, watch and work. But I will admit that I don’t find it an easy process, not by a long shot. So, that’s my comment for today. There will be more later I’m sure.
“Home is where the heart is.”
I don’t know who wrote that quote, but I’m sure that you’ve heard it before. I certainly have. I want this for my home, but at the moment I’m in an ongoing battle with clutter. Clutter? You have no idea what that is? You say? Ok.Ok. I know you’re joking unless you are really, really good at keeping your home tidy. Almost everyone I know has some clutter that they don’t want anyone else to see, much less know about. Well, I’m telling you about it, but, no, you aren’t going to see it in real time. That won’t be necessary. I have bird seed to fight against, instead of dust bunnies. I have long hair strands to pick up instead of cat fur. I have tiny price tags that float down to the floor when I’m pricing my jewelry, hidden from my sight, initially, because they blend right into the carpet, until I’m standing on top of them. What kind of clutter do you have?
