Hi Laura, I miss seeing you on Instagram and I still share my love of the community you built of us fellow, morning pages devotees...it’s wonderful to see you here and to read your words.
It’s really such a beautiful and emotional insight into how you must have all felt holding those pieces of poetry. What a revelation!
When I am writing or drawing or paining and no one sees it, I am reminding myself constantly of how it makes me feel. And how it makes me feel is more connected to myself (and my higher self). And a reminder too, that I’m not here to be discovered. I am important in the 5am writing as I am in the things I press publish on in here.
I have no intention of returning to the ‘gram anytime soon but I really do hope to see you and your words on here more often 🙏🏻
I can’t tell you how much I love that line “I’m no her to be discovered”. I’ve been going over it and thinking how much these creative acts are for our SELF discovery in fact, for us to see ourselves instead of what we’re often sold, that we need to be seen by others...
I just love it in here. It’s so nourishing and slow and quiet (if I stay off notes, mainly. Still working on how I feel about them). Quiet enough to really contemplate the words being written by others and to see myself reflected back in that way and to really figure stuff out. Ahhh 😌
This is really so, lovely. I worry often about not "being" a thing I long to be unless I'm exposed in real time doing that thing. This is such a soft and loving reflection on a life as a human and an artist. Thank you for sharing it. ♡
Ah Mandy this is such a good way of phrasing it - exposed in real time doing the thing! It’s making me think of how some of us can believe in things we can’t see all the time, and how we often call that faith... and in this context wouldn’t that just be trusting ourselves and abilities?
