A muse at day’s ending toward a new year

I would be considered ‘retired’ by most people, but not in my mind. I finished two Master’s degrees during our Covid lockdowns and I am chomping at the bit ready to put all that I learned out into the “world”. And I was doing just that, then came a blip.

But we can’t let something like a blip detour our whole plan…or life. So I retreated for a while and now I’m ready, all the way into 2025 to begin again, again.

This is what I am pondering as another Spring season creeps closer and closer.

So, I am making art and making plans too. Plans to bring this idea into focus, a focus so sharp that it materializes itself as an offering into the world that I believe so deeply needs the healing it brings.

As I spend time in the Southern Ontario Wren’s Nest Studio here in Leamington once again, I just need to be open to listen and move to this music that is drawing me. In good time, all will come.

And though what needs birthing feels a little distant, like individual trees in a forest, I do see it shimmering, beckoning, smiling … and I know that if I focus on that which I am being called to do and be, all will be well.

And so it is…
