A space to Breath

Focused and peering inside of myself. Wrapped a wee bit tight and feeling misunderstood after having my privacy violated earlier this month. It has been particularly hard to write anything, my laptop gathers dust, waiting for my return.

I can feel it already, the bottleneck, so much to write none of which will be written tonight.

Paintings unfinished, stored away in boxes, sketch books forgotten, where are my charcoals?

Nevertheless, I feel it inside, this creative part of me, unwilling to follow anyone, knowing that I need to find my own way. Where this comes from, I have no Idea.

I find myself often by the river this summer.

My court date for Custody of J-O is in September and November. It has been a very long road for me; it is beginning to show too.

I've been missing your regular postings, but understand how hard it is to start again after your stride has been broken, especially in the way it happened to you.

I hope things settle down for you and that you'll be able to express your creativity once again.

All the best . . .

Chris I'm glad you're feeling better. What fab photos.

Your artsy voice is very present with the media of your choice....maybe give yourself permission to find your way back 20 minutes a day. Soon you'll be lost in the magick. xoxo, v

Chris, it was so much fun meeting you and Taz... Kiran had fun also and lost her second tooth on Wednesday while sucking on a sucker.

I hope all goes well for you in your custody battle. Life can through us in so many different directions.

We are in a good around house, even though Gill won't be invited back into it. Thanks for making the beginning of a difficult week that much easier.

You and Taz are wonderful people....

Hi Michele,

Me too, I have been missing the rythm and freedom of posting regular. Your observation about me is so correct, my stride was broken, terribly. As I have done in the past, I will dust myself off, reinvent myself or perhaps just continue down the same path.

And Thanks Michele, your kindness touched me at just the right time :)

Helps

Take care

Hi Veronica,

I am looking forward to talking with you! I found myself, sketch book in hand, calm of mind, drawing in pastels and charcoal by the water. I was following your advise as I did not feel the creative flow until sometime later. I did not create a "piece" but enjoyed the flow just the same.
