Day 164 of Year 2 (Actually Day 169)
There is mundane, everyday time and then there is forest time, the hidden and surprising divine time. Making art hooks you into divine time. Every artist will tell you that hours can vanish in a minute while they are working. But divine time is much more than this too. It is the unfolding of plans the Universe has for us. It is when the help you need magically appears or when something beautiful falls painfully apart but is replaced by something better than you could ever have imagined. It is a secret mysterious force that sweeps our lives forward if we surrender to it. Stepping out of worry and into surrender and trust is challenging, but these things are spiritual muscles. With practice, things get easier and you grow stronger. So I am practicing and working, and then practicing and working again. And so it will go until I reach the end of my days.
