Sticking to the Point

Artist Date #1

Another journey has begun, I share with you artist date number one.

I so wanted the orange apron but only had $6 instead of the asking $10. She wouldn't bargain, so I walked.

Finding Water: the finale and Walking in this World

The last chapter in Finding Water nurtures, encouraging each of us to continue the morning pages, continue walking and continue weekly artist dates. The point is to continue to nurture yourself as you explore your creativity and know that each of us has it within ourselves to be creative, even when faced with obstacles and critics, life changes and even monotony. 

'What I did have, which others perhaps didn't, was a capacity for sticking at it, which really is the point, not the talent at all. You have to stick at it.'

-Doris Lessing

I didn't have any expectations of what the outcome would be when this journey ended. I've found a creative voice in taking photos, something I'll continue to do and explore, something I now love. I'm planning to  I'm start Walking in this World on Saturday, June 2nd. I've created a blog so it's easier for those who join, to follow along. Neen, Jen, Angela, Nina and Kristine expressed interest, anyone else?

The last divining rod suggests we find a symbolic gift for ourselves, something that reminds us of the artist we've uncovered and become. Cameron gives the example of a dragon, 'The dragon is the Chinese symbol for creativity...there are as many symbols of creativity as there are forms of creativity. select the symbol that speaks most clearly to your heart'.

For me this is the best possible ending, a talisman to remind me of how far I've come.
