Another dip in childcare means I’m spending a lot of time with my 4yo and my cats, building blanket forts, coloring, counting, pretending to be superheroes or villains or both, making food, cleaning up. I am pretty into it for an hour or two! And then I’m bored out of my mind. Is there a lesson about creativity somewhere in here? You tell me.
I led a creative workout on the theme of animal friends a couple weeks ago, and one of the participants came up with the idea of gathering everything we could find in our respective spaces about animals and sharing that with each other.
There’s a troll who has been showing up who I’m going to call the HAPPY HEALTHY FUN TROLL who believes that you need to prove your worth and prove you are a fun person by smiling and laughing a lot and it’s better to be hiking than sleeping and if you’re exhausted something is wrong with you and you should always be MAKING DREAMING DOING.
I’ve been in eeyore mode, zero energy, total exhaustion the last week as I’m immersed in (yet another) transition. In that mode, I wandered out to the art garage this weekend with my 8-year-old and did some painting. I vaguely remembered a dream from the night before and I decided to paint with that dream to try and understand it. Painting didn’t give me more energy or help me understand the dream better, but it let me accept the energy of where I was, and open up to the feeling of the dream, and hang out with my kid, and I like what I painted.
Listen today was hard so don’t let this sweet moment of creative harmony fool you. Though on the other hand it was a really lovely moment and there were lots more of those too. I was drawing a portrait of myself and my 4yo came over and started to copy what I was drawing, and it turned into “Grandpa Robot with glasses” which was very different from my “space space yes space nooooooo helpless roar” drawing. Moments like this are my favorite. We’re using our creative minds to sort through our lives together.
A self portrait of me wishing for a deepening of my practice for the next six months, reminding myself that’s something I can do whether I have a little time or a lot. I can plan for that. The plan will be interrupted. Build interruptions into the plan. Understand I am packing and planning for unknown terrain. Pack a lot of snacks. Stock up on mac and cheese, tea, pickles, fun games for kids and things that make us laugh.
