Gentle...

Julia Cameron's advice to treat yourself gently (in The Artist's Way) is particularly apropos for me this week. I am exhausted from the move. I am also finding myself upset over the fact that my supplies are packed away and there's no space or time to really create anything right now. And I don't mean in that in an exaggerated, whiny way. It's literal. We are awash in boxes and need to get settled before we can do more than stagger from room to room looking for things like a thermometer and children's Tylenol, the salt shaker, and various electronic connectors and controllers.

What makes this more annoying is that I've had an itch to create ever since I packed away my art supplies. It's bugging me but I can't do much about it right now. In fact,
I can barely keep my eyes open. All in all, a time to be gentle.
