Blocking vs Unblocking

I'm back, eager to hear from all of you A great boost to my soul and to my creative connections to have enjoyed12 full days immersed in simply being on the shore of Lake Superior --listening to the wind, the water, watching the moon dance on the water, building a Fairy House for my grand daughters, playing my flutes out across the bouncing water. My artist dates: a trip across the Chequagamon Bay to hear Tracy tell stories at the Madeline Island Library and a visit to the Cornucopia home of visual artist Sally Bowker, a woman whose persistent creative efforts have always inspired me were both the perfect gifts to myself and to this process. I had a realization of the connection between morning pages and my dreams - on at least one night, what I wrote resulted in a vivid dream, unsettling, unresolved stuff rising, unclogging the pathways. The suggested assignments are focusing, sometimes irritating! however, I am beginning to see how the program is helping me to re-write my list of what I have to do every day and to make room for creative experiences. Smart. And I am very thankful for the suggested ways to quiet my inner critic, a sharp and persistent voice,and to identify voices other then my own that are not supportive as I move forward. Ann, thanks for setting up the blog. It's a neat little package! So in the theater, blocking tells the story; in Artists Way, "un-blocking," creates a new story.
