It's so interesting to see you go through this journey. I was so glad that I found your videos just when I first started thinking of going through this journey myself. I've been on the search for a group to join to go through this journey because I spend a lot of time alone when I make art. If I don't find a group to join then I'll make this journey on my own. Thank you for sharing all with us; the good and the bad.
First off, I loved your honesty thru the entire 12 weeks. I was given for Christmas, a 3 book set of the Artist's Way last Christmas (book, workbook and morning pages journal) it was still wrapped together in its shrink wrap. I wasn't sure what to think of it, went onto RUclips and found you beginning your journey. I really enjoyed your take on each week. It has made me open my set and begin. At first I found it a cross between what I'd heard of the 21 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous and what it must be like to see a psychiatrist. I did not enjoy revisiting my childhood, but I forged ahead. I am starting week four. I realized it required me to let go and just flow with it and like you did. I hope you come back and share updates, both how your journey has progress and your studio time. They make me happy. Thank you for sharing💕
You've encouraged me to continue; I've gotten to week four and the morning pages bore me. I like the idea of tweaking things; maybe do fewer pages and more creating. Thanks for your honesty while presenting your journey!
To Know the Dark To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings. - Wendell Berry, Farming: A Hand Book, 1970

To Know the Dark
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
