Last night I took down the art calendar that had kept me company through the year. As I looked back through the Klimt images and thought about each month and all that had happened, I got a sense of the huge span of the year. Yes, the years seem to go by more quickly these days, but they contain so very much.
It's almost past the time to look back, but it's still the time to dream dreams, the ones that come in the night and the ones that weave in my mind. I'm busy with both, but the day ones occupy me right now. Given certain parameters, how do I want to shape my life in 2009?Striving towards the spirit is important to me, and with this in my I'm looking towards enhancing the true, the beautiful the good. How can I do more of those three things, bring more of them into my life, my deeds, thoughts and everyday living?
As always in these realms where we're free rather than driven by necessity, it will take a conscious effort. And the most challenging of these will be finding and making the time. For instance, I need to find a way to include some colour work in my day -- whether it be by using crayons, pencils, pastels or water-colours. But where to find the slot in the day that is feasible and will work for me on a practical level?
In general, though, there's one ideal that's resonating through me right now. It's simply this:
'Be more loving'.
Untill sometime after St. Valentine's day, I bid you 'au revoir'.
