Day Five: This Extraordinary Life


Ugh...feeling in a rut today creatively. I love Rhonna's quote, so I tried to do something with it. I'm feeling a huge amount of gratitude for life itself. As little two-year old Alec is sticking it out, taking his last breaths, I realize that I AM part of something extraordinary and that is living my life creatively. Reminds me of my all time favorite poem The Journey by Mary Oliver. I could read it over and over everyday and it would always move me. I wrote the last few lines on my layout. I'm in awe over the art I've been seeing, I'm in awe over being alive, creating! I'm having a hard time putting that out onto the page, but I feel it and that's what's most important:)
