Exploring


I feel like I am beginning a new phase of my creative life.  Old ways have not been fruitful, and it no longer fits for me to till that barren land.  So I have begun to take small steps toward a new creative life.  This path not only includes my artistic outlets, but it also embraces my whole life and my process of becoming a new creation.  Much of this is Unknown to me, and I am using my walking stick to navigate this new trail.  It is more about Being in these moments and days and less about doing.  So instead of farming my old garden to death, I am now lightly stepping into new, unexplored territory.  This is an expedition of sorts. I feel certain that fertile ground is waiting for me as I travel on this well guided journey. 

"We were born to be free, to expand our horizons by going where we have never gone before, and not to hang out in the relative comfort and safety of the nest, the known.  There is a place within us that is courageous beyond our human understanding, it yearns to explore beyond the boundaries of our daily life."
