Winter Flight
I love winter. I love winter in its slow down moments which give me time to assess all I have done, where I am going and what I want to do. Like many artists, having a creative idea has never been an issue of mine. There are so many avenues for me to pursue when choosing my next creative venture as a multimedia artist, I could easily drown in a sea of possibilities. This can often cause a sense of restlessness, where everything looks so enticing but not necessarily in reach.
Winter gives me time to turn the volume down and listen long and close, my ear to my own ground, to what it is I want to do. And here lies the truth- the truth is I really don’t want all of these choices no matter how amazing some may seem. It is like window shopping, much to see but not so much you really want to take home and call your own. I begin to separate out what I can and want to do over what I feel I should do, embracing my likes and dislikes while letting go of much and holding on to some. This involves my taking an honest assessment of what I am capable of doing while figuring out a realistic goal in putting my creative desires to best use.
Small steps to flight, one day at a time.
