Reboot

Prayer and meditation is something I try to do regularly. Some weeks back, I was in prayer and I was asking God about time in my own studio.  A question formed in my mind.  “Why are you working on someone else’s dream and not your own?”  To be honest, this wasn’t what I was expecting.  There was a conflict in my life and I expected to be corrected and to be led to a different conversation.  Not that I’m perfect and don’t need to humble myself, but through this meditation I discovered the real issue was that I’ve been giving my time and effort in areas that I should have let go of a long time ago.

There was no good answer for the question being raised.  I was doing what I was doing out of habit and loyalty.  Loyalty to an idea that had nothing to do with my life or destiny.

An attack of diverticulitis has given me time for reflection.  At the end of the year I will be making changes to be in my studio full time.  I have done full time studio painting before, but this will have a very different focus.  Transitions are rarely smooth.  But at least that won’t take me by surprise.

The adventure continues.
