We held two different drawing implements, one in each hand and with eyes closed and listening to music by Max Richter we drew lines towards the centre of the page on the inbreath and back towards the edge on the out. Standing and holding the end of the pencil and charcoal, I began to feel the movement through the body, a subtle inner dance. Being present.
The focus for today was time. We visualised the day in many ways; a colour-coded graph, lines swirling around and connecting to black spheres, a series of envelopes, jobs to be done, notes on a flour packet. Some visualisations imposed a structure on the day, others activated by a sense of longing. Making time for our practice, whilst recognising that our practice is in everything that we do were emerging themes. Questions of how we can support each other were met with positive challenges and possibilities of digital connections in the background whilst we immerse ourselves in making. We might all make some small change today or question our priorities. Little decisions have made a big difference for me today; an interruption of inertia, tiny nudges shifting attention and energy. I am noticing the transitions between energies, the moments of possibility when anything could happen.
“...she took her hand and raised her brush. For a moment it stayed trembling in a painful but exciting ecstasy in the air. Where to begin?--that was the question at what point to make the first mark? One line placed on the canvas committed her to innumerable risks, to frequent and irrevocable decisions.”
