This week the prompts were: Wish: What do you wish to try? and picture: the table at meal time.
I wish to try sinking deeper into writing and photography. I just started a poetry/writing class at Maya Stein's Feral Writing and I am finding it easier to fit in my low energy days because it only requires you write on a choice of prompts for 30 minutes a day. Maya gives you feedback on your writing and her take on my words have me loving them and it's helping me pare down my writing to the bare essentials.
I bit off more than I could chew with some other wonderful writing courses especially Natasha's at Creative Nachos and Jennifer's Word Cellar. The timing was such that I was going through some things in my life that took most of my energy. I hope by the time the summer is over I can delve more deeply into exploring my writing through these other courses.
With photography the iphone has really kept me taking pictures and telling my story through them especially through the instagram app, where you share your pics, there is a wonderful community over there. The above picture is not technically "at the table" but it is the fixings of what I was making that night; fresh tomato sauce with whole wheat pasta. I love simple ingredients with little fuss. I looked at the butcher block and thought what a great picture that would be, the reds and greens against the wood block.
Again like with the writing once summer is done I would like to get my dslr camera out and try learning the more technical aspects of photography, the iphone is fun and is helping me develop my eye for composition so it has been perfect for where I am now.
So what are you wishing to try today? As you wish for yourself, I am also wishing for you.
May you and yours be well.
Namaste,
Karen

I always love reading and looking at what you have to share. Delighted to hear you'll be continuing to express yourself in these beautiful ways! As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also!
I love your dinner prep photo! And I want pasta now. ;)
I think the choice to not bite off more than you can choose, to work with your energy is so wise! I also love the imagery in sinking deeper into your writing and photography. It feels to me like sinking into a warm, soothing bath.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.

I recently found that I had bitten off more than I could chew with my art, and scaled back, too. Better to do one thing well than many things poorly. Writing and photography are things I love too - enjoy your journey!

Here's to continuing to delve into yours loves - as you wish for yourself, so I wish for you!
Your table looks very healthy!
I find it interesting how we cycle through different mediums ... periods of time when writing is best, then photography seems to offer a doorway in ... I am learning to enjoy each stage and not be too anxious about neglecting any one thing. So happy you are doing Maya's class - she is the Best!
