My god, you are a good writer. I'm sort of speechless. Beautiful prose that doesn't get in the way, it is the way. Thank you. Also love your paintings.

"Work from a place of love. This way, creative work becomes a way to come to know the mind and its world and how these go on always unfolding together." Your thoughts on the creative process are so very helpful, Samantha. Thank you for sharing your process and wisdom with us. Sometimes I work from a place of judgment and criticism, and it is depleting. x

Oh yes, I recognise that place too! Glad to have helped, in some small way, your recalibration.

This is wonderful. Writing as an unmarked path that emerges as you write....

Speaking of water, if you get Netflix, I recommend "Families Like Ours"--Denmark is evacuated (Forever) because of rising waters. It's very good.

Sounds intruiging - I don't have Netflix however. Maybe come wnter I'll sign up, for those long nights...
