In Service

[Geraniums in Jordan, taken earlier this year.]

It is late again, and I am using this time to try to write something meaningful here.  My husband was out this evening, so after I got home from the studio around 5:00, I continued to work all evening until he came home around 9:30.  All the time spent catching up on emails, working on my website and getting another round of books for the 100 Books Project ready to ship is time that won't be taken away from the studio tomorrow.  On the one hand, I know anyone observing me would think I'm a little bit of a lunatic, all action and movement.  On the other hand, it feels more to me like I am relaxing into the flow of things rather than swimming against a current.  Even though it probably wouldn't do any harm for me to slow things down a bit, I am in one of those modes I often get into where things are clicking so well I can't help but want to run with it ~ all of it.  I am content to run and leap and dance, knowing there will be time to rest soon enough.  Stillness will come, but for now I am an eager and willing servant to my dreams.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”  ~Goethe

I know that mode well. I'm in it at the moment - so much so that a day spent in bed rewriting felt like rest. No fighting, no forcing. Just allowing the energy I have for this book to keep flowing.

Following my enthusiasm. I think that's what makes it flow.

I love that idea of being an eager and willing servant to your dreams! Twirl, dance, and leap, girl. I know that feeling you're speaking about: when you ought to be tired or might normally have used some time to recoup rest, but the energy for something you love is flowing and it just feels okay to keep moving and going with the flow of energy in that direction. It's a cool feeling, isn't it? It helps me realize I'm really doing something I love, something that brings joy to my heart. xoxo
