RE: All the Things We Consume As Artists

in Invisible Horizons4 days ago (edited)

Wow, how wonderful that you've brought this thoughtful post about the stages of creation here. It's hard for everyone to see it as work, but it really is. It's that inner work that can be externalised, turned into something else. Long hours observing and internalising... few can understand that. And it's incredibly exhausting. More than any physical work.

Last night I dreamt that I was attending one of those 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job interviews. And I don't really know why I was there because I told the woman who was looking at me with satisfaction, and who gave me the job ipso facto, that I felt comfortable without having to think about time... who knows what that means now. 🤣

I dreamt other very revealing things that I did understand. But I'll keep those to myself.

😁 Thank you!

I think people who're active in generally non-creative work, even the ones who enjoy art, sort of assume it's similar to a 9-to-5, only instead of sitting down and doing your tasks, you sit down and do a poem, painting, etc.

🤗 Dreams are tremendous gateways into your psyche - I'm glad you're so attuned and turned inward to make sense of them. Far be it from me to try to analyze someone else's dream, but from where I am, it does seem to resonate with other things I've seen you write recently. an aligning of values, in a way, since you (like many creative people, including myself) live a life of professional uncertainty in many ways.

Eso es supongo. Abrazo y buenos días, @honeydue.
