Creativity and Daily Practice

Creativity is absolutely radical! It is a force of transformation that effects change in our inner and outer realities. We can nourish our creativity through practice.

Practice can deepen our noticing, bringing clarity to our attention.

One way I practice is by photographing the sky. This practice attunes me to different cycles. I notice the phase of the moon, the seasonal light, the growth cycle of the trees, and the weather patterns in the air.

My practice is all the ways I prioritize my my creativity by making space for it in my everyday life.

Right now I am drawing every day. I keep a small sketch book on my altar. It is an intimate space to play with my imagination. I can draw whatever I want, without the pressure of sharing it with anyone.

Some days I make detailed drawings of imaginary scenes. Some days I make a scribble in the darkness before bed. I try out new ideas or techniques. I draw with my eyes closed.

When I connect to the way drawing feels in my body it doesn’t really matter what it looks like.
