Day 148 of Year 2 (Actually Day 149)
I'm not sure how I feel about this image. Part of this project is to post the good days and the off days, but I am excited that a new symbol is coming in: the sprouting seed, new growth. Today, new growth manifested as a shift in perspective. I realized my relationship to prepping for my show needed an overhaul. I've been pushing which is never a good space for making art. Art is about allowing what is to come through. Pushing creates a barrier to the natural creative flow. I decided to relax and trust all would be well, to wait and see how things unfold in their own time. Immediately three wonderful things happened. 1) A good friend popped in and helped look at a piece that was stalled, 2) I had a huge breakthrough with that piece, and 3) another friend offered me his truck to move work, a lovely gesture. All of a sudden I went from using my energy to push against what felt like a massive wall of work, to people showing up to help me. A lot got done today and I am much more at ease. What a difference a shift in perspective can make.
