the last wisps of summer have escaped us now. the air has chilled a bit, the beaches have packed up and closed for the season and all that feeling of lingering time has switched to filling schedules and honoring commitments. it's good, only a change, and any change always takes some adjusting.
i struggle to find enough time these days. oh of course there is enough time...but i mean time afforded to things that feel important, that keep me sane, that soothe my soul. i am working hard to carve out a daily sit for some meditation...and let me be completely frank here, i am all about the wonders of a daily 5 minutes of silence. sure, it's more glamorous to sit for a lengthy session but i am sooooo not about any sort of perfect or ideal or meeting anyone else's definition of how it should look any longer in my life. i am all about what works, whats real, what feels right, and more importantly what fills me.
along with that, i am digesting seriously how finite life is and the fact that in mine - i want most to be doing what i love. in one way, this means taking my art, honing my direction, getting clear, and seeing where that takes me. i have had so many wonderful conversations about creativity lately from these two talented artists who always seem to 'get where i am coming from' and are a source of inspiration. and then there are the amazing displays in the Anthropologie store that my dearest amazing friend designs and creates. she makes pure magic that has me catch my breath.
sharing some nuggets of inspiration i have stumbled upon lately...
her amazingly beautiful lettering
this wonderful talk on meditation (thx neesha for sharing)
being turned on to her unique and incredible sound
and this song (and the video) make me smile
