Let It Shine

I’m just getting back from a little walk in downtown. I’ve been thinking about rereading The Artist Way by Julia Cameron and so I went in search of it at the Central Library. Instead, I found another of her books, Walking In This World. I’m hoping for a little direction, a little light. 20 pages in and I like the idea that she writes about the importance of walking. She writes, “It is while walking that I experience a sense of well-being and connection, and it is in walking that I live most prayerfully.”

In the past couple of months, I’ve been swamped with inspiration. It’s been a great blessing, but I can now use a little focus so that it doesn’t begin to feel so overwhelming. I am hoping that I can find a little magic in the book. For the past 10 years or so, walking has become a great passion in my life. It is in my early morning walks that I feel most connected and inspired. It is in walking that I get the opportunity to experience the world around me in a manner that allows me to feel like I belong.

The piece here is titled “Home #3.” It’s part of a 3-piece set from my Evolution series. I have chosen this piece today, in ‘light’ of the creative inspiration and the changes I’ve been making at home.

This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine!
