I do find that even if I'm not creating ART I'm creating something... a lovely meal, an orderly garden, a clean kitchen etc. I think that everything we do has a bit a creation in it. So there really isn't any down time just times that are deflected to some other form of creation. Hum, I hope that made sense. :)<br /><br />Creating with words is something I can do really well sometimes and other times...not so much.<br /><br />cheers!<br />StephanieStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458311868704344491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-9633031484227838632010-07-06T09:43:39.170-04:002010-07-06T09:43:39.170-04:00Yes, I definitely feel the need to create and it o...Yes, I definitely feel the need to create and it often gets in the way of doing other fun or mundane, but necessary things. The anxiety doesn't so much stop me, but adds an element of pressure (hurry up -- don't waste any time!) that is sometimes quite counterproductive. Oh silly me. :-) I like your charm.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344297533945609082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-21666610300589441532010-07-05T13:13:58.538-04:002010-07-05T13:13:58.538-04:00OH don't give up!

Sometimes i...I hear what you're saying, Rowena. Sometimes it feels as though it's never enough. I feel such a compulsion to make and create and produce, that even on a day off, it's not a day off. The only time I have respite from this feeling is when I travel, or just after I spend a very wonderful and full day in the studio! Or hang a show, or get into a show...<br /><br />I think a lot about this ~ I would like to have more peace about the balance of give and bring ~ to feel more peace about how I need to absorb and see, observe and experience, in order to make things. I can't just go, go go. I know this in my head but still struggle with really feeling it in my body. <br /><br />:) BrookeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456363835248084510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-50855878601588295372010-07-05T09:55:50.744-04:002010-07-05T09:55:50.744-04:00Sometimes I want to create something, but I am too...Sometimes I want to create something, but I am too tired from my day job and caring for my family, and I begin to feel guilty for ignoring that artistic part of myslef that needs to be fed. Does that make sense?<br /><br />DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
