“What is better than when you’ve been struggling with a creative conundrum for weeks and you go on a walk or have a conversation and then finally something clicks? That tiny moment where everything falls in line, and you feel like you’re able to grasp something incredibly elusive, pull something concrete from the fog of ideas?” Yes! This!
Having a different perspective was important for me today after Fridays news from the WH. I need to walk away and take a deep dive into a new view. When teaching little ones I talk about hard eyes and soft eyes - looking or writing or drawing with sharp facts and details or doing all those this with color, sound and creative thinking both are needed but it helps kids think about shifting their view. Thanks for this post
Anna the shadow ( I'm guessing photograph) image is stunning! Thank you for sharing that. Its a stunning day in the PNW ... and the horrors of the WH from yesterday have momentarily faded slightly... but unfortunately in this case not changed my perspective of horror and embarassment. Thanks for sharing yours.
Trying to hold the perspective that goes with one place after leaving it has been so difficult for me. But I can almost always connect to art or writing I’ve done there and that can transport me for a moment.

It’s so hard to hold onto it isn’t it??? But I love knowing that the best way back is through creative mediums.
