Harmony and Balance

July 11th, 2008

I was doing yoga this afternoon, and I was inspired for a new scene in my musical.

I didn’t rush the routine, I kept going through it. The scene continued unfolding before me. When I was done, I promptly ran to my journal and wrote.

I was so grateful for finding that stillness in that moment, for being able to clear my mind so that I could create.

Yes, I have a bunch of chores to do, and matters that should be attended to, but focusing on those first wasn’t going to allow me to entertain the muse today. (Though recently I found laundry had a calming effect.)

At times, it’s so easy to let the small things distract us from the bigger picture… I am the queen of errands and appreciating the small moments… But as I get deeper into this project, I am refocusing the lens to take it all in, and write it all down.

I hope that all my readers have the opportunity — scratch that — MAKE the opportunity to carve out a few moments to find that stillness and create something extraordinary.

–Sue
