Week 12 of the artist way, I just put my dreams, fears, worries and resentments into this vase, it was really interesting because I noticed that I had few ambitions, maybe 4 I came up with? But I had like 20 fears ! That’s at least 5 fears which came with each dream of mine. Sometimes I would write a dream which would inspire me to write more and more fears. Writing them out made me understand how silly some of them were though, for example, “I’ll never succeed in the music industry and this was all a huge mistake”. Spoiler, it was not. I have never been so fulfilled than I am right now!

Taking time to to breath this morning and let God handle all my worries xxx

Your own healing is the greatest message of hope for others.

Julia Cameron on maintaining your artistic ecosystem:

Art is an image-using system. In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well-stocked trout pond. We’ve got big fish, little fish, fat fish, skinny fish—an abundance of artistic fish to fry. As artists, we must realize that we have to maintain this artistic ecosystem. If we don’t give some attention to upkeep, our well is apt to become depleted, stagnant, or blocked.

Goethe told us, "Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it, because action has magic, grace and power in it."

[entheognosis]

Most of us are not raised to actively encounter our destiny. We may not know that we have one. As children, we are seldom told we have a place in life that is uniquely ours alone. Instead, we are encouraged to believe that our life should somehow fulfill the expectations of others, that we will (or should) find our satisfactions as they have found theirs. Rather than being taught to ask ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained to listen to others' versions of ourselves. We are brought up in our life as told to us by someone else! When we survey our lives, seeking to fulfill our creativity, we often see we had a dream that went glimmering because we believed, and those around us believed, that the dream was beyond our reach. Many of us would have been, or at least might have been, done, tried something, if... If we had known who we really were.

so that was the last new years of my twenties. so forward is the only way. so soon i'll be different, i'll change with these pisces currents. so i'm listening to muna again, so i'm listening to tears for fears and the talking heads like i've never heard them before. so the pink light out my window is real and my friends can see it too. so i'm following the artist's way for the first time. so i'm ready at last to choke on the soil.
