Morning Pages

I went to a wonderful workshop "Creative Myths & Monsters - The Artist's Way" presented by Julia Cameron and hosted by Kripalu last weekend. It seems like a year away already, it's unreal and crazy how time flies.

I don't have the time or inclination to share all the details and amazing breakthroughs that have resulted from that shared time and since, at least not at this moment. Suffice it to say that I highly recommend the book... and that's the understatement of the century. The tools provided by the process of awakening your creative self in The Artist's Way are beyond miraculous. There is also paradox in their simplicity... paradox as you know, is a requirement of mine. 

I will detail breakthroughs in coming posts but for now... a poem straight from my morning pages...

Just A Little Diggin'

Finding
What is buried
Ain't so hard
Really - 

Just a little diggin'
Just a little spade
Just a little time
and smilin'!

You gotta push
the dirt back from the hole.
You gotta make space.
Sort the weeds.
Spread that dirt out a bit.
Integrate it, what's bein' dug up!

Who knows 
What you'll find.
Not all the world
Can tell you.

Gifts - for sure.
Shiny or smudgy
Seems like buried treasures
Seems like - maybe
I buried them long ago
for me to find...?

Not all the world
can tell you,
but you'll know.

Just a little diggin'
Just a little spade
Just a little time
And smilin' !
