4 Things // Creative Muse

Happy Sunday wanderers. I'm listening to this interview with Austin Kleon on Creative Live.  He mentions Elizabeth Gilbert and her idea of genius being more of the Greek concept of the muse.  I love this idea of thoughts visiting you if you give them space in your daily practice.  He also mentions an interview she did with Tom Waits.  Tom would often get great ideas while he was driving. He would look up kind of frustrated and say, "Hey can't you see I'm driving".  I'm looking forward to finding this interview.

Listening :Creative Live

Reading : Just wrapped up Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond FearbyElizabeth Gilbert recently - so good.

Adventuring : Mike and I drove from San Francisco to San Diego along the coast earlier this week.  We took the time to create some beautiful images and try out new techniques along the way.

Dreaming of : Looking to get some good news for my dad at the doctors this week.

White Sands Adventure

“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, 'This is what it is to be happy.' " ― Sylvia Plath

Hey Wanderers,

Adventures are always welcomed here. Instead of going to a place with many distractions, go to a place that is as expansive as your mind. A place where you are only limited by your imagination. A place like the sand dunes; a perfect escape.

There is nothing limiting your view, nothing to keep you feeling closed in. It is just you, the sand, and the sky. The constant movement of the sand and the wind creates ever-changing patterns on the ground, putting on a show for your eyes. All you need to do is pay attention.
