What Do You Trust?

This month our creative keyword on the art/life trail is Trust.

This is a powerful time each year to be evolving your creative voice. Wise even to pay

attention to the manner in which you create. What gets your juices flowing?

In what direction are you currently taking action to express that which holds the deepest

meaning for you?

This month we have the opportunity to explore a deeper level of creative confidence.

What does that mean?

TRUST. Here’s a brief definition to support efforts:

  1. reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.
  2. confident expectation of something; hope.

I often think of trust as the ability to navigate the trail, here and now, as well as up ahead.

How do you get from point A to point J without loosing your way or giving up?

Indecision can create a slippery slope which is why we’re here, keeping a focus,

moon/month by moon/month around the Natural Calendar of the year.

We’re now mid-way through summer. Six weeks remain before the Fall Equinox.

During this time there is additional light as well as natural energy available to tap into.

If we look ahead and visualize what it is we would like to have happen there’s a good

chance that we’ll see results. 

Creative exercise: Ask yourself these two questions:

What do I want to have come of this time?

What is this time for?

These are exceptional prompts that bring instant focus.

Any traveler knows that you don’t make any progress until and unless you choose your

destination. This time of the Natural Year is ripe for the picking. This is a time to harvest

your best idea in the moment.

Navigate toward the six weeks ahead. Imaging that you trust your experience as if there is

nothing holding you back.

There is nothing holding you back 

At the grocery story I saw a fellow wearing this message and asked his permission to take a

photo…

 

The word, which is a new and creative word to me, reminded me of how excited I am to do

just that.

I navigate in a unique and different way each time I’m carving out a new trail at the tree

farm. Every trail begins with the vision of being able to move through the tangle in front of

me. I have to start slowly and progress tentatively and yet aggressively due to brier and

bramble, not to mention poison ivy, poison oak and stinging insects of a variety as well as

the ever present tick population. Not easy to carve a trail. Yet once accomplished the

landscape becomes available for exploration in a way not really possible prior to clearing

the way.

In a similar way I enjoy being with young artists who are seeing their surrounding through

new eye when I take them to the woods at nearby First Landing State Park .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the studio, based upon what they’ve seen…or imagined… magic unfolds…

 

 

 

 

 

I send you all best as you explore your creative gifts and talents all this moon/month with

your awareness upon a TRUST for your process.

Where are you are now? Where can you imagine yourself being within the container of the

six weeks ahead?

It all begins with

What do you want to have come of this time?’

‘What is this time for?’
