Moving on
Things have settled down a lot since last fortnight. The deadline came and went for STILL FIERCE and I attended the event and displayed the video I was working on (here's the revised version re-done after the event) plus others that I've done in the past.
I was so exhausted afterwards, and took a couple of days to recover. And for the moment I seem to be at peace. Even the pups aren't giving me much hassle at the moment. I let them sleep with me, and the other day drew Stripe as he lay on the bed while I wrote.
Of late, the morning pages have been filled much less with mad rants about boarders, and with more contemplation about immediate issues and plans, including creative ones. It was via the morning pages that I realised I'd taken on too much before the event. It was in the morning pages that I plotted thre pages of comics for the TDOR Web Comic Project.
But I wrote of Chapter 7 last fortnight, and decided to "do it again" this fortnight instead. Chapter 7 is all about connecting to creativity. Might seem redundant, but perhaps not. The Artist's date was definitely STILL FIERCE - it was a great night and one that I really needed. The day after however I didn't do my morning pages, but instead chatted with a friend whose house I was staying at, and petting his cat and dog. Two days off in 3 or 4 months is not bad.
And the synchronisity is still happening. I wanted a replacement gas chair for the defective one I had - there was a leak in the base cylinder somewhere and every time I sat on it it would slowly but surely collapse! I had my eye of a cheap one from a discount shop. It was about $70 but they had a display model in the shop and that one didn't collapse. I went to the shop yesterday and the display model was the only one left, so they sold it to me "as is" for $50!
YES!
I'm off to visit my mother in Perth on the 30th, and it's been two years since I was last there. Looking forward to the trip and am taking the pages with me.
