Finding Momentum

i keep drawing my hands drawing my hands trying to draw what is drawing my hands

The last few months or so, I have felt a lack of momentum. I strangely felt as if I would never make anything ever again. There was a pause…that turned into a stop. Pauses and stops are fine but I needed to get my hands moving again. I realized that I had dropped many of my practices, the things that brought me joy and felt goooood just because. I really missed the feeling of being in FLOW. Those moments when completely immersed in color, line, materials, that the imagery and words just seem to appear. The moment when I feel a connection to some source some energy some something that is beyond and much bigger than myself. These moments nourish me. And they aren’t out really to prove something rather the making is a way to have an experience. So this morning, as I picked up a pink paint stick and put it to the page I felt something real rush through me. A faucet had been turned on again. My hands are moving to connect. So I return to find it.

Pondering some ways to access Flow so when I want to gain momentum I have access.

Here are a few to start.

-set a timer

-give yourself something you can do, a small (do-able) goal

-use a flowy material like ink and use it generously
