This was a great summary and very familiar to me. I have read anywhere near all of Cameron’s book but I am in long term, 12 step recovery, so mention of a Higher Power and weaving spirituality into my life feels familiar and not an obstacle that I need to overcome. I love thinking about concept of a Higher Power/God/Source/Nature and then after careful and mindful thought, realise how little I know! It’s always a humbling experience.
I’m in the season of life where it seems to be either writing or my sketchbook. I’m in my sketchbook almost every day but I don’t think I’ve written pages for several weeks. Although, only this morning, I have felt a little whisper to pick up my fountain pen again! I find picking up that habit much harder than my sketchbook and making doodles — it feels inviting and playful, whereas my writing doesn’t. Also, something I might bring into my prayer this morning, help with my resistance. What’s exhausting is the feeling I just need to push myself when maybe I don’t. I’m going to reflect on the question of how I show up and what’s going on inside.
Sorry to hear you’ve been poorly and impetigo is awful, my niece gets it sometimes, so I hope your child is on the mend now and not in too much discomfort.
My professional background valued speed and velocity, in our current culture, a gold standard. Shifting to a slow-cooked life (which is what I call it!) really pushes comfort levels and it's so worth it! Patience is everything, especially in creative work.
