The Wisdom of Vocation

It’s the moments on waking this morning, that have me back in the journal.

And after a number of days off, simply to go inwards in a deeper way ~ I know that I am not a content machine. I am a woman simply listening for light.

That knowledge allows me wisdom on a grander scale and that slower rhythm wandered honours that wisdom of the vocation I have.

This slower rhythm does three sacred things all at once:

• Protects my interior life

• Keeps this studio visible

• Prepares hearts without pressure

And most importantly ~ it keeps me well.

Why this works for my nervous system and calling is I thrive when:

• Work emerges through me instead of being simply manufactured

• There is space between thoughts, words and action

• What I share is still warm from prayer, meditation and contemplation.

This slower rhythm:

• Gives me room to wander inward

• Allows my art to remain a listening practice

• Ensures I am not “performing” ~ I am actually living.

That is why it will be felt more and more within the studio and life itself that I share and if you are interested in finding a slower pace and more gentle rhythms, I hope you’ll join my December and entry into the new year.
