What do you say to an asphalt elephant?
During this time of pandemic and politics, I use creativity and explore; antennae ready for everything along the paths I travel. Fantasy and reality mesh and meet my attention. The discoveries of the day will wriggle into future ideas. They percolate in my brain while I'm helping others discover their own "ways in."
Through Curiosity, Awareness and Noticing (C*A*N), opportunities build focus during times of challenge.
Writing has its own rhythm. We need patience and word shuffle. Also, we must learn to distract ourselves at certain times and become demanding during other situations. Each writer's temperament requires a different carrot and stick. Learn yours.
Play time and the engagement with nature offers sensory perceptions. Then we C*A*N gather experiences and interactions to use in a variety of ways.
My cell camera assists me to add another layer of creativity to the day. Often an incident such as a Great Blue Heron landing on the water will happen far out of the camera's focus. My notepad will provide the space for word pictures. I scribble and record the effects of atmosphere on my temperament of the moment.
What a discovery to experience an elephant who extended its trunk and smiled from the grass.
Enrich yourself with C*A*N
