As I contemplate the end of a year and the ushering in of a new one, I marvel at how the days have shaped up to be something quite marvelous. The creative process is such a metaphor for life. We have a blank canvas, we try a few things, feel discouraged at what we see or feel and we go back in, over and over and over, thinking, shaping and working, pushing paint, all in an effort to force a desired result. Finally, we realize we need to stop fighting and just accept where it is going and let whatever is meant to be, be.
Go with The Flow.
The beauty emerges, the heart sings. All because we stepped into the struggle and went on The Journey. Isn't it amazing how we live each day - some good, some joyful, some painful - but when we look back on the entirety, like this finished year, we can see that it all works out exactly as it was meant to. We learn, we grow, we create. And it's beautiful.
2023 has been quite a journey for me - here is a glimpse of it.
A Year To Remember.
