Journey through the Artist's Way, again.
Week 5: Recovering a Sense of Possibility
What a way to start the new year, with possibility! Our group took a break through the holidays and we were anxious to get back to the Artist's Way.
The heart of this chapter has to do with our source, and when we tap into an infinite supply we are not limited in creative possibilities. We are the ones that set limits on how much we are given, how much God can help us out. I love the way Julia CameronThe Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity refutes this, I can almost hear her: "God has lots of money. God has lots of movie ideas, novel ideas, poems, songs, paintings, acting jobs. God has a supply of loves, friends, houses that are all available to us. By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right path."
One of the ways we were encouraged to explore possibility was an exercise in wishing. As fast as you can list 19-20 things you wish for...It was interesting hearing where people were in their journey, mirrored by what they wished for: a villa in Santa Fe, to be 20 again, rediscover passion and commitment in my work, go to Europe, not be afraid,to be 50 again, etc.
Though we all had different goals and dreams, obtainable or not, one thing we all agreed on was it took something outside ourselves to reach for something more. Whether it came from the support of the group, our mentors, or from the hand of God Himself, we were individually better when we connected with the thread that holds all of humanity together.
Happy New Beginnings and a renewed sense of Possibility throughout this year.
