What a great reminder that the only way we can learn is to explore new things.<BR/><BR/>The fact that you added procrastination as a ritual made me giggle then realize yes! Why not? It is good to know others procrastinate and you aren't alone. <BR/><BR/>Wonderful post.

I think being observant and sensitive to subtleties are what make an artist communicate well. your photo is pure magic!<BR/><BR/>It's not procrastination it's called 'getting in the zone' :) I do this before I do yoga and before making art. It's a bit like a dog turning around three times before they will sit down!<BR/><BR/>Once you've made your cup of tea, take a deep breath and inhale the scent of chai (or whatever) then exhale and begin.pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293378341445115577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-3008107796359494992009-01-19T18:07:00.000-05:002009-01-19T18:07:00.000-05:00you are right, beauty is everywhere if you choose ...you are right, beauty is everywhere if you choose to look for it ~ and you have a great eye for detail! i love the picture, something many others would have walked past without a second glance, yet you captured the beauty of it. thanks for sharing.Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252354675982631564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-25495297052003581622009-01-19T17:00:00.000-05:002009-01-19T17:00:00.000-05:00Holy cow girl - I have so many things I want to re...Holy cow girl - I have so many things I want to respond to in this post, I'd have to write more in response than you did! Can't you just come VISIT me and we can sit over that ritual tea drinking and CHAT!?! (read that in my whiny voice) I'll settle for just two comments here - <BR/>I didn't join the online book club but I did order the book from the library - hopefully it will arrive soon so I can play catch up. And if I think it's worth it, I'll get my own copy. <BR/>And second - there's this really annoying rule of life that the more beautiful the scene, the more dangerous the spot on the road you need to stop to capture it. It's true. Absolutely true.Laumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311615016374555526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-8353242290596940652009-01-19T16:22:00.000-05:002009-01-19T16:22:00.000-05:00I love your sense of wonder - that's what speaks t...I love your sense of wonder - that's what speaks to me as I read this post.laundrygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10414456180378176592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-47980037250552971182009-01-19T11:39:00.000-05:002009-01-19T11:39:00.000-05:00Your ritual sounds very similar to mine, lol, but ...Your ritual sounds very similar to mine, lol, but I sometimes get stuck at the gathering part, allowing those gremlins to take over and prevent me from moving forward. <BR/><BR/>You inspire me to move forward, thank you!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295184242792867847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-64042908681312676482009-01-19T09:55:00.000-05:002009-01-19T09:55:00.000-05:00I think the composition of the photo is excellent....I think the composition of the photo is excellent.

And I've been thinking lately about how the scientific process and the creative process aren't really so different from each other.<BR/><BR/>Plus thanks for your comment on my post about Luna Moth. You are totally right, by not accounting for the other phases of Luna's life, I was blind to the other phases of creativity that followed in the metaphor.

You choose to see the beauty instead of all the rest of it and that makes you a beautiful spirit.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872998741543435056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-28283524167177447552009-01-18T16:39:00.000-05:002009-01-18T16:39:00.000-05:00First of all, I love the idea of beauty being our ...First of all, I love the idea of beauty being our shield from hatred and ugliness. <BR/><BR/>Your "ritual" made me laugh. How wonderful to include procrastination, bring it in like a friend. It took me years to realize that the time I spent procrastinating was actually time for cooking ideas inside the brain-oven. It sometimes serves a purpose (in moderation of course!)<BR/><BR/>Finally, I love the photo you have here, what an eye you have. And I hope you post the snake photo soon - was it blue?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198572015888392613noreply@blogger.com
