The past few days, I've been focused upon forcing my mind to go where it doesn't want to...
It resulted in a pain in the neck, followed by a nasty headache!
The more I tried to force my brain to concentrate, the more it wanted to fly away....
So I made myself sit & draw...
with no idea what would manifest...
An anxious mind can need discipline to relax...
This was what appeared, & I feel much revived because of it...
Knowing there is love & beauty all around me, even when I'm oblivious, makes me smile...
And I hope the knowledge that it's all around you has made you smile too...
A belated Lughnasadh greeting to you! My harvest has brought me unexpected things, and not all of them pleasant, but I guess you reap what you sow, & now, this Crone's learning to plant what she needs...
Blogging my drawings again, as a way of disciplining my mind to create something new every day... and it's nice to share my process with someone else:
You...
Today, my first sketch (not shown) reminded me I can choose to enjoy myself, although I feel overwhelmed by a completely new set of life circumstances... Needless to say, that image was rendered in an anxious state, & although the process brought calm, the result wasn't very attractive, so I continued working, because it felt right...
How glad I am that I stuck with it!
Here is "Little Sister of the Moon", who reminds me it's o.k. to be frivolous...
to let go of worry...
to feel beautiful and happy...
because I am acceptable to Nature, exactly as I am...
and so are You...
I do not understand what is required of me, or know how to survive in a work-a-day-world, especially in my 59th year, after not having worked in a job for 12 years...
but I know about the moon...
and women's mysteries...
and that old women are the Beautiful Wise Mothers of this world...
... that is all...
