Love the subject of consciousness. There's so much I could say about it..

Experiencing being in the flow and the glimpse is what makes making art so pleasurable for me. And also the joy it procures.

Oooh; yet another brilliant full plate of nourishment for the mind to take in..........It felt as if you touched upon this subject before which is why if felt a bit deja vu-ish but I love this subject so the more the merrier of it all. Made me think about about how my moods affect what I'll create or even if I'll create today......and that goes for the outside stuff as well.......weather, issues, the noisy gardeners, my dog barking at whatever, temperature of the house, my pants wasteband being too tight or loose, and so on. And yes, the inside and the outside stuff is not necessarily separated just as the Holy Spirit/Universe that works with/through/in me is also separate yet melds or weaves as a part of what I'm doing/making. I'd go a bit crazy if I try to figure it all out and try to consciously comprehend it so I just surrender to it and let it all be/happen. As Ram Dass titled and wrote about in one of his earlier books: it's all "Grist for the Mill" and that phrase sits well with me.
