still stuck?

Going in a new direction, trying new things, is difficult. Taking the road less travelled by and all. Not knowing what I’m doing, not knowing quite where I’m going, is hard. Or if I’ve an idea where I want to go, struggling to get there without maps.

[But who said exploring was easy?]

Wanting to be more messy, not so precise, more immediate. Wanting to let go, and by letting go reach the part of me that is feeling and experiencing. Get away from the thinking and analysing; leave that for another day.

I'm trying to find an image on the panel, with the paint, an image I can feel and can see in my mind. I can’t write it – the words are insufficient. And as yet, though it is early days, I can’t express it in paint.

Surely that’s what the struggle is. To attempt something unknown. But the temptation is always to stick with the stuff you know [stuck].

Flux level: falling; poor, remaining low, increasing more slowly.
