Oh hello darling, so lovely to see your face…
So it happens, that feeling, that mood which hijacks your body and clips your wings. Don’t dare fight it, just brush it off, keep moving and you will fly again.

Sometimes it feels like you are deep in a frilly mess but then you realize you can change it! If the zipper sticks just grab the scissors!
Sometimes I don’t know who or what will appear when my pencil touches the page but characters are always welcome. Song: Eet by Regina Spektor
Wild weather exhales inspiration
During our morning routine before school, my daughter asked me to write a poem. My first thought, I don’t have anything to write about. Then other thoughts followed..
I hear…… Unknown to me
the sound echos through the empty house
bang, clank shakes me awake
a ghostly presence of make believe
rooms filled with chatter
I try to muffle the noise
quiet restored
my mind is free
to dance around my thoughts

The smaller side of life
The stupid moments of the day you wish you can just erase. Maybe hide, or submerge oneself entirely in a glass of wine, unlikely……. Instead I will try and draw myself there..
Pressures of the day can be demanding. Oh I will shrink myself down, down, down not because of fear, but to be one with nature, one with the leaves, grass, and flowers. I will submerge in the surroundings and be one with myself. Peace is restored.

Transform
Days shift to nights
we try to hide
we blanket our fears
we are exposed
we wake
we begin to see clearly

The page is my friend
I try to uphold to a morning routine by carving out time for myself before the hectic throws of the day. My commitment to writing three long hand pages (morning pages) began many years ago when I read the book, The Artist Way, by Julia Cameron. The routine of writing everyday clears the mind, relieves stress and allows you to tap into your well of creativity on a regular basis. My writing this morning inspired this doodle.

Creativity is electric
Live it, create it, draw it, paint it, perform it, design it, write it out
and stay true to self.
