I keep hoping to learn the secret to harnessing anxiety.

Still, thinking, and putting things into perspective and context are part of being an artist. And you know what thinking leads to---those feelings of dread and uncertainty. Silly humans.<br /><br />cmw: I do enjoy sharing the process. Every time I give a lecture I wonder if I'm an idiot---that everybody already knows everything I have to offer.

I've learned (the hard way) to just go with it. As long as I cycle back to my desk -- I fiddle-fart-around until I'm ready to commit.<br /><br />Cynthiacmwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582955125941259290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-73635628509983634112010-05-24T20:36:03.732-07:002010-05-24T20:36:03.732-07:00It's the Buddha Pace--living in the now and al...It's the Buddha Pace--living in the now and all that it entails.
