Notes for Artists Way Class today....
Creative recovery
- Growing up is proactive, working with the balance of the inner and outer of
your life.
Growing down is reacting habitually
to outside circumstances in same way.
Staying
stuck in your muck.
Resistance-
Withdrawal- We ourselves are the substance we withdraw to, not from, as we pull
our overextended and misplaced creative energy back into our own core. Change
and uncertainty are dances of energy remember. We will find what and where to
dance with the energy.
Greif-
process, we mourn the self we abandoned. Times of mourning, our tears prepare
the grounds for our future growth.
Pain- We will
learn to recognize, nurture, and protect your inner artist; you will be able to
move beyond pain and creative constriction.
Artists Way Rambles
ReplyDeleteIt is very difficult to complain about a situation morning after morning, month after month, without being moved to constructive action.
Art may seem to spring from pain, but perhaps that is because pain serves to focus attention onto details.
Art is born in attention. It's midwife is detail.
So we are midwifing our creative lives when we pay attention, do the details of our lives....be full in the time we have here...Pay attention for sure.
