I had stoop time with Emma today. She was glad I didn't croak in the hospital. Me too. There were crows. People yelling. I got to hear about what she is doing and she heard my hospital saga. We talked more about sustaining our creative lives like we do. I like how we come back to that. It's the touch point at the center of everything. It's the koan we wrestle with. How do we do this writing and art and still survive. How do we keep ourselves in food and our bodies alive. How much writing is needed. How much air and food and rest. How do we find balance?
I got some great feedback from Susie Fought about balance in response to this writing:
When Emma and I do intense visual jouranling time, paint splashed hours can go by before we realize how hungry we are. We are not balanced at all. We work till we are falling over sideways with hunger and fatigue and that giddy laughter that happens when you aren't balanced at all but having fun.
Susie said: the "balanced" thing can be seen in so so so so so many ways. "over doing it" on something that makes you giddy CAN be a part of the balance. actually IS absolutely part of the balance.
