...After reading this, I want to go pick apples. :) <br /><br />I love the reminder that to be creative, we have to show up. Sometimes I fear that blank page, the less than perfect composition. But for the creativity to come, I have to DO something.Stacy Henriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303383087338174942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264319397911620864.post-26393938077144409632010-10-18T20:14:54.838-06:002010-10-18T20:14:54.838-06:00I can imagine how magical the raspberry canes feel...I can imagine how magical the raspberry canes feel and the apple trees ready for harvesting.<br /><br />It's funny, but while I was growing up, I loved to draw by our great sliding door while it rained. It felt like a magical time.<br /><br />During certain weather climates, I'm inspired to create from writing to drawing to crafting.<br /><br />Don't you just love the seasons? :)<br /><br /><a href="http://elizabethmueller.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">~Elizabeth :)</a>Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264319397911620864.post-30656849279391143722010-10-18T12:10:45.916-06:002010-10-18T12:10:45.916-06:00Great post!

Lately we've been taking family walks every Sunday, and that's been a great ritual for family bonding. Now I just need to create a good ritual for warming up my brain to write.

And as far as farm work goes, I don't do it very often anymore. I live in the suburbs and return home to help my parents out when they need it, but it is fun and does bring back the memories.Hermana Mawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743516008894676257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264319397911620864.post-60799947751226011912010-10-15T19:41:00.689-06:002010-10-15T19:41:00.689-06:00I totally understand what you're talking about...I totally understand what you're talking about.

Wow - ...I have never seen raspberries like that. <br /><br />Wow - I'm totally missing out.<br /><br />Have you read The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp? Claudia Mills suggested it to us 2 years ago and that's what your post reminds me of - a beautiful creative habit. Lovely.<br /><br />PS I didn't respond to your synopsis not because I didn't care, but because everyone else had much better things to say, so I figured I do what Dave said to do and quietly *pass* on the critiquing. ;)Pirate Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164956276371481421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264319397911620864.post-38059277184469096362010-10-15T16:14:24.212-06:002010-10-15T16:14:24.212-06:00L.T., thanks!

It feels like orchards and harvest and slow, sheltering earth. =] <br /><br />Brilliant thought about showing up for creativity, for the natural season of it because of the work you sowed. Well said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
