Shadow

Both are me...

aspects of me.

Both give space to sides of myself

that are not always acknowledged

but need to be.

I can not ignore either.

When the sun

shines warmly against me,

 to one side of me

there is a 

shadow.

Seen

There is a part of me that is needing attention.

It is asking to be seen,

to be acknowledged,

to be heard.

I give myself the space to sit with the feelings

and let the words 

find room on the page.

I feel lighter.

The feelings are not gone,

things are not fixed,

the work is not done,

yet something has shifted.

Something has been witnessed,

something has been freed,

something 

has been seen.

 

Week-End Reflection: Mother's Day

Taking the time 

to enjoy an accomplishment.

My inner critic 

has a say in all of this apparently.

My words flow from me

to gently remind me of what is important.

This will be my focus

And this accomplishment I will enjoy.

Mother's Day 6k Run, Canmore Alberta

Week-End Reflection: Simplicity

Simplicity

is what I use

to nurture 

my creativity

when it needs a nudge

to continue moving 

forward

Seeing Stars

It has been a long time since I have worked in my journal like this.  At first the blank space can seem so intimidating especially since I usually have no idea what I am about to create.  This time I found myself drawing a scene of a house and yard in much the same way I used to draw when I was a child.  I journaled right on top of my image and added the thoughts that were running through my mind at the time.  I try not to question the process and just let it flow.  Then I reached for my collage materials and allowed myself to glue down the images and words that jumped out at me.  Again, part of me would question the words and images, but I gave them the space and added them to my page.  I then added more writing and embellished the page a bit.  After I let the image "breathe", I stepped  away from it for awhile and then I came back to reflect on it.  It amazes me every time how all the elements speak to me even though when I made it, I did not know what it all meant.

My art gives my creative self a voice and this voice guides me with gentle nudges when working through my emotions. If I trust the process, the hidden meanings of my choices eventually reveal themselves to me, I just have to give them the space to do it.

Week-End Reflection: Connect

 This is how I found my workspace today...

thought of it as my art supplies beckoning me to use them 

knowing I feel more connected when I do art.

It is Spring and things have become busy

but I know spending time on myself and creating

requires my time as well.

How are you doing with keeping connected with your creative side

these days?  Are you feeling more inspired with the 

changing season or is outdoor life keeping you

away from your creations a little more?
