Who do you wish to become?
I wish to become a quiet, centered, soaked in creativity, brave, and “joy-full”
woman who forms bonds and friendships with like-minded people while continuing
to remain close to family. Jamie’s question
this week is once again timely for me.
My morning pages were filled with becoming and birthing. There are many of us out there looking for very
similar things. I wish us luck, I wish
us patience and perseverance and I wish joy along the way.
I keep thinking that the whole process of painting intuitively (via Flora Bowley) is a metaphor for life. It’s about BECOMING that person you long for. Look closely—what’s working? What isn’t? What can you change, eliminate? What do you want to preserve, expand upon, and highlight? I was working on this painting yesterday and about 30 minutes in threw my hands up in horror, walked out of the room, and closed the door until this morning. It still has the same “issues” but now I can see that it too is “becoming.” Not sure what it’s becoming, but that’s what’s exciting—most of the time!
