Each week is like a gift, a gift that has another gift hidden inside, until we get to twelve. In each gift I find another insight into me. I am befriending myself in a compassionate and understanding way. Julia enlightens with her unusual way of approaching the many facets of the inner me. These five weeks have changed me by giving me greater clarity of the spiritual nature of creativity. I look forward to the continuing journey. Thank you, Graham, the community and my awesome group.
I am, enjoying the book so far and I just started week 6 today. I'm finding the artist's dates and morning pages very helpful, but I must admit that It’s been an intense six weeks since we started. Alongside my full-time job and my volunteer duties, I’ve been scrambling to make time for Morning Pages and Artist Dates. I’m going to need some miracles and will pray to get everything done in time.
Having said that I did enjoy week 5, I only finished reading and doing the tasks yesterday, I was a bit behind from the group, but it felt like an easier lift after last week’s media and reading deprivation. One of my favourite parts that I have highlighted in my book for week 5 was from page 92,
“If we learn to think of receiving God’s good as being an active worship – cooperating with God’s plan to manifest goodness in our lives – we can begin to let go of having to sabotage ourselves.”
As to your question about what synchronicities we have experienced this week, for me I see synchronicity as similar to things falling into place. It’s not always big artistic discoveries or moments of success. Just things happening in a way that makes life feel like the right thing comes to us when we need and I was blessed to receive them along the way .
Lastly, I want to add that my Artist Date was a bit different this week, an hour browsing in my local bookstore a welcome treat after the Reading Deprivation from week 4, I let myself pick up whatever caught my eye, noticing book cover designs and blurbs.
I can't believe that we are already halfway through this challenge, so glad that I chose to do this with the community and to see where this creative path will take me by week 12.
