It has been nice weather here the last couple of days. It is nice to be able to sit out in the yard in the morning. Get away from the phone. Have a cup of coffee. Read a book.
And then there are just those times when I have a moment to take notice.
The above is a photo of this year’s garden.
As I was looking at it I happened to notice a lone ant running up and down the wooden frame. I do not know exactly why I stopped to notice this one. He was all over the place exploring. I tried to get him in the photo. But that guy would not stay still long enough.
But I began to think about the scene. It made me think of my own creative process that I am working with and through here.
Plant the seeds. Try the best to grow them. However, give up on the idea that I have full control or even realization of the final product.
As for the ant. It is about the process. Like the travels of the ant it is never going to be a straight line. It is all just an exploration.
