note to self

from May Sarton's A Journal of Solitude:

"It is only when we can believe that we are creating the soul that life has any meaning, but when we can believe it – and I do and always have – then there is nothing that we do that is without meaning and nothing that we suffer that does not hold the seed of creation in it."

and hello 2009

This has been an interesting beginning of the year for me. This is usually the most creative time for me, I am usually filled with hope and on top of some kind of creativity cloud right about now. Instead I am about to make a big move and have been with my family much more than usual as my dad's health has been really up and down. I am really trying to trust that I am right where I am supposed to be. That I am passing through a rough patch and that I have A LOT going on. About 2009... I believe in choosing a word for the year to focus on inspired by this life artist. I decided that I needed two words: ritual + explore. More on that soon, for now:
this is making me laugh
I am reading this and am always inspired by this amazing woman.
