Morning.
Steps:
(My hope is that you do actually invest in Steps 1-2; my fear is that you are so used to seeing them that they have just become a kind of white noise. If that has been true, maybe today is the day you see what happens if you dig into them!)
1. Outer Space
- prepare the space around you
2. Inner Space
- prepare the space within you
3. This is an interpretive drawing.
Draw you, having an encounter with a visitor from another planet.
Rules:
- full body
- face visible
- do your best to silence The Two Questions; let what happens happen
- keep your pencil moving for the entire 4 1/2 minutes
And oh my goodness, if you have not yet met The B-52s, prepare yourself: you’re in for a toe-tapping, can’t-help-but-get-up-and-dance treat! Press “Play” and set that pencil in motion!
4. Give your image a title.
5. Date it.
6. Email it to me.
A reminder that there is no Class Meeting today – you have a gift of time; how will you use it? Consider making a brief but specific schedule – can you spend meaningful time with all of our major activities today? Don’t forget to build in time for exercise, outdoor time, activities that fill you up and connect you to yourself, and virtual social contact with people outside of your bubble – as well as time to do nothing! Oh, and also schedule a time today to close your bedroom door and spaz-dance around the room to this:
Do it for reals! Resistance is futile! You may be surprised by how good it feels! You may be surprised to discover how much you needed that!
(PS: Science conferences: those whom I am meeting with today, please double-check your time, and set yourself up for success by taking several extended moments to make notes to yourself about the things you want to draw my attention to.)
