So glad this resonated, Elizabeth. Dietlind’s work has that quiet way of staying with us, doesn’t it? I think of her, too, whenever the marks I’m making start to shift into something deeper.
That is a great idea to share voice memos (and/or an equivalent small creative act), as a way to ease into something new. Trick the brain to calm down and trust the intuitive flow. Great article!
Thank you, Emily—I love how you put that: “trick the brain to calm down and trust the intuitive flow.” That gentle entry point makes all the difference when creative energy feels just out of reach.
Sometimes, when the weight of creativity seems too much, I try to remember to pause and say to myself, "What is the Next Right Step?" and there always is one. And one becomes two, two becomes three, and so on. The trick is to remember...
Thank you again for your kind and gentle wisdom. It always sets me on the right path for the day!
Thank you, Jenn—I’m so moved by the rhythm of your words: one becomes two, two becomes three. That reminder to pause and simply ask for the next right step is one I’ll carry with me this week.
What a beautiful writing and I love that Dietlind’s work was included. She comes to mind whenever I am making marks with art.
