The Tools I Set Down, the Tools I’ll Pick Back Up

Major themes from my recent work:

  • The further cultivation of flow. Last week’s exploration of and work with incantations continues to prove significant and powerful. Surely this is something I will pick up again in the new year.

  • Depression (and its cousins, anxiety and fear) as an area in which I have a certain expertise, and can offer help.

  • The move, finally, toward truly accepting abundance into my life. The fear that arises when I consider that acceptance, which has for so much of my life led to the false safety of existential paralysis, is finally starting to, if not dissipate, at least get dealt with. (There was a lot wrapped up in Friday’s incantation, wasn’t there?)

  • The process of the work itself. How the work progresses: the shift from piece (ie. complete work of art/expresion) to piece (ie. part of a greater whole) all the way, perhaps, to piece (ie. there can be fullness in disorder: a piece of broken glass, a jigsaw-puzzle piece separated from all of its mates). Also, the recognition that in asking my zero drafts to be first drafts, I’m creating problems in my work. Zero drafts and first drafts are meant to do different things.
