Sitting Alone - 6 Daily Habits for Artists

Winter for me is a time of sketching, mulling, incubating and pinning. A thousand ideas vie for my attention and I try to hold them all in my mind's eye and not choose, allowing them to form their own patterns. I am wary of releasing them into the world before they are fully-formed, it distorts the process. I love to share but even that has its season. Right now, the hatches are still battened down. Instead I offer you a poem and a quote.

Winter

Withdrawal
Senses turned inward
Whirling
Kaleidoscope mind

Sewing and sowing
Microscopic embryos
Germinating
Wrapped in
Dark, warm, intuition

Unable to formulate
Intelligible sentences
Images come fast
And strong
