life is good here..getting colder, but we still have flowers so im happy.
today i remembered to make time to pick flowers! and these are my results. i'm trying to create more ,, but its a hard transition. i've started to feel flat when i am not confident cooking a dinner and i don't know the words to my favorite song. i'm really good at consuming: i pick up any food that is in front of me, know exactly what times to turn on my predictable and funny television, nod along to other peoples ideas, have an endless list of books, flip through folk songs and rap songs, etc. and i love this. i love taking this all in and learning from these weird and often contradictory outlets, but i want to more consciously consume and teach myself to create. so i'm trying to cook and make things with pencils and crayons. i'm writing blog posts and letters to friends around the country. ...and i'm picking flowers.
in the end, i am starting to direct more energy towards putting things into my environment, rather than just sucking up what is around me.
miss and love. xoxo
just keep on keepin on baby! pick those flowers and bring em inside. when it gets too cold for them outside bring em in and see how long you can keep them blooming. if you cant remember the words to a song listen to it again! learn and take in all that you can. let your creativity flow. you are full of it! you always direct positive energy. everyone you come in contact with knows that! ill bet the leaves are turning a beautiful orange and yellow about now. wish i was there to see it. maybe ill make it for snow! glad youre able to be there!

Honey: Your zinnias and black eyed Susans are awesome! What great, simple arrangements and how they dress up the foyer and your office! Your guests will enjoy them this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThinking about your comments and want to remind you that your creativity has, to date, perhaps been in the intangible realm. You are working your magic everyday to create a spirit and feeling that enriches the people and space around you. Now that you are focused on the tangible expressions of your creativity, I am excited for you. What fun! What an adventure and how lucky you are to have the time to experiment and enjoy this as another expression of yourself! Pick those flowers. Make another tomato soup (with very few of the necessary ingredients!). Draw. Get ready to gather some of those autumn leaves and decorate!
Can't wait to see you. Come on October! Love you so.
