Looking at my home, studio, and gardens through the lens of ‘works in progress,’ and process as the journey… From that perspective I see that all that I do is part of being creative. In clearing out my studio I came across an email that a friend sent several years ago that I saved. The title of the email is 100 Hundred Ways to Survive as an Artist- Without Cutting off your Ear. (helpful, indeed!) Many of the reminders resonate- especially when at times I think that I am not “making enough art” whatever the heck that means. It’s just one of the “squirrels in my head” (thank you Christian for that expression – along with so MANY other yogi lessons, on and off the mat!www.evenflowyoga.com) anyway, here’s my quote from the email for the day….
