saturday afternoon goodies. i don’t always believe in retail therapy, but a trip to a local bookstore is allowed now and then, as a treat.

Discipline is not a lack of freedom, it is a harmonious relationship with time. Managing your schedule and daily habits well is a necessary component to free up the practical and creative capacity to make great art.

#i’ll settle for making mediocre or even bad art tbh! #love to discipline the self in service of some meaningful project #i’ve also been thinking about what a trusting relationship with the passage of time looks like #and for me it’s treating each day with great seriousness and reverence so that all the days of my life add up to something i’m proud of #quotes #the creative act

In Japanese pottery, there’s an artful form of repair called kintsugi. When a piece of ceramic pottery breaks, rather than trying to restore it to its original condition, the artisan accentuates the fault using gold to fill the crack. This beautifully draws attention to where the work was broken, creating a golden vein. Instead of the flaw diminishing the work, it becomes a focal point, an area of both physical and aesthetic strength. The scar also tells the story of the piece, chronicling its past experience. We can apply this same technique to ourselves and embrace our imperfections.

“If you know what you want to do and you do it, that’s the work of a craftsman. If you begin with a question and use it to guide an adventure of discovery, that’s the work of the artist.”

Rick Rubin

“The recognition of abundance fills us with hope that our brightest ideas still await us and our greatest work is yet to come. We are able to live in an energized state of creative momentum, free to make things, let them go, make the next thing, and let it go. With each chapter we make, we gain experience, improve at our craft, and inch closer to who we are.”

I was listening to new music this morning and it felt familiar, though I knew I’d never heard it before.

I then took a run with my daughter and stopped by a book store where after months I finally picked up The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin and read this among the earliest pages.

Found another piece.

The making of art is not a competitive act. Our work is representative of the self. You would be amiss to say, “I’m not up to the challenge.” Yes, you may need to deepen your craft to fully realise your vision. If you’re not up to it, no one else can do it. Only you can. You’re the only one with your voice.

Sometimes disengaging is the best way to engage.
