being alive to the artist in me


often i feel not good enough with the one thing that makes my heart sing....


i feel not good enough, not loose enough, not tight enough, not original enough, not compliant enough, not the right shape not the right colour not not not...


but i had a glimpse this morning that seeing that,


being present to my fears about not getting this right,


about being scared about my next move,


about feeling inferior to the task that my heart sets me about contributing to the world with my creativity,


about not fitting in


about not making time for this contribution in the way that i dream about...


that this makes me an artist...


my being flawed and still doing it, being open to learning, being connected to the urges i have...


this makes me an artist


and the more i open my heart, the more that flows to me...
