Art has its own timing, the listening lets you know that.
Yesterday, we thought we'd get all those panels painted. Nope. Only a third of them were done, because the day became itself and we became a part it.
We all move with the flow of a day, in one fashion or another. How we respond to that flow is what our day feels like to us.
We did manage to get two of the "Fish File" books formatted, and photos in place. That a big advancement as far as the energy of the project is concerned.
This week has been all about letting go and trusting, without the need to understand or make sense of. That's a huge leap creatively, when you can just allow the energy to unfold, and keep opening up to it.
Sometimes the light seems too much, sometimes you think you want to look away, when you really want to see. The beauty of living a creative life, is the opportunity to see something new is forever presenting itself.
To see something for its own beauty, beyond judgement, is to see beyond judging yourself for wanting to see. Light finds a way to penetrate the darkness of judgement, and soothes the raw, wild elements within us.
Painting and listening, and writing, are raw arts, they ask of us more than we are customed to. We have been customized to a standard, so that much of life can be put into a proper fit.
If you can just move to wanting to see the raw art of living, then the new can spring up and grow right before your eyes. You would be surprised to know, it is what you wanted all along.
Hope your day finds you seeing the raw wild life of living, and you accepting the view.

this is the first one I've been able to get to ina week...and how apt...
i was thinking on Friday,trying to imagine how it would feel, to simply be free enough to follow intuition thru the day..finally realizing i was still putting on that, the stricture of walls by limiting it to creative work only...when the reality of my life requires attention to other tasks as well in order to keep moving...and that following intuition, and opening to where the day leads, is about all "work"...what ever it might be...sometimes my capacity for density astonishes me...I'm sure I already knew this! But this morning,buoyed up by this delicious day, full of necessities plus the promise of beach, how I let it lead me thru feels silky...
thank you!!
This is timely for me, too -- it is so difficult to acknowledge the Larger Picture when smaller pictures "need" to get done. Forcing the Muse never seems to get her best cooperation, does it? I find when the "you should" paradigm gets too demanding, it is so difficult to let things...drift...into where they are most comfortable and, in the end, most effective. Thank you!
This weekend has been one of looking for the light and hanging in there long enough for the penetration!
And congrats on the books...5 by now!
Thank you, Lyn, for your wonderful comment...it felt silky.
Thank you, Judith, yes the allowing is truly one of letting go. Thank for your comments.
Thank you, Sandra, letting yourself look is sometimes the hardest part, because we are so taught what to see, when to see, and how to see, never letting the wild, raw in to penetrate the judgements and free us up from the inside out.
Thank you for your comment!
I love the new view!!! It was a powerful weekend of letting go and am grateful for your words of alchemy you share with all of us. Amazing how the Fish File books are flowing into form during this Potentizing time, with such quantralized speed rate!
