A Fresh Canvas Every 24 Hours
Another real thing! I am not dead yet! I can still call forth a piece of soul and set it down in color, fixed forever. ~Keri Hulme
Before a painter begins a new work, she takes preparatory steps to get ready. She has probably made preliminary sketches of the scene she is trying to capture. She mixes her pigments to achieve the right colors. She prepares the canvas. All of this takes time. You cannot see the preparations when you see the completed work.
Preparation is necessary in all the arts. It is also necessary in life if we want to live authentically. Every 24 hours we are given a fresh canvas to prime, to make ready for our vision.
Today's challenge: Quiet your mind, carve out time to dream and express yourself with your daily dialogue and illustrated journal. Become aware of your true preferences. Savor the moments.
Today's exercise: Write down 10 things you are grateful for in this moment.
