It’s 5:17 in the DARK morning, I am half way through my workout, but I want to put my artistic vision that blossomed in my heart during the night onto paper. I want to do it NOW.
I find the paper… Do some physical therapy… breathe hard while I get the crayon… do some more PT… breathe… Oh! Blue tape, that will be good. Tape it down… more PT…
…Enough, you get the idea… The Muse had grabbed me. Again.
The other thing that happens when you engage in life in general and in art in particularly is that passion or more exactly enthusiasm fills you with god spirit. The muse grabs you with a vision and pulls you forward into life. The project must be done. The vision must be fulfilled.
Eckhart Tolle talks about three things that fulfill the goal of staying present while DOING — Acceptance, Enjoyment, or Enthusiasm. (Do you remember that ENTHUSIASM means to have God within. Cool, right?)
One of the indicators that you are in flow is – enjoy what you’re doing.
Flow is the antidote to fear. Obviously, you have noticed the fear mongers are at work in the world…
Stop listening to them. Stop it.
Be in flow more.
