I love your idea of lots of small things that are the wondrous. And I admire that you are doing those small things. You create such beauty in the world. I, at this moment, have stopped or am stuck or something unpleasant. There is a shift. It's uncomfortable, but while I am in the midst of it, I can find inspiration here, so thank you! xoxomandy l. smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15465284512439738872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-38617128474464425872015-03-02T12:36:21.679-06:002015-03-02T12:36:21.679-06:00I think you have hit the nail on the head Lisa, it...I think you have hit the nail on the head Lisa, it can all manifest in the small things that go on during the day - BUT I do not think this is the whole story. I was at the same stage in life and was just about to 'give up' and accept that I had to learn how to be zen and live with nothing more than the creativity of small things, this daily stuff, when something happened that shifted me out of that mode of thinking and my grand opus appeared like out of the blue. I think that we give so much to our children, for such an extended period of time that we forget how to nurture our own creativity sometimes. I was certainly in that place, I think that perhaps I felt 'guilty' doing stuff for myself when the children were around (they are always around, I homeschool) but I read a book by John Holt who says 'get on with what YOU have to do and the children will take inspiration from that' so that is what I have been doing; writing, painting, sewing, all the stuff I needed to do to feed my grand opus and magical things started to happen. I produced a lot of stuff, good stuff and the girls sat down with me and produced their own good stuff too.Louisahttp://tinyletter.com/luluinthewoodsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-23665430221488748062015-02-27T11:24:38.419-06:002015-02-27T11:24:38.419-06:00Lis your words and images have filled my cup today...Lis your words and images have filled my cup today.
