Thalia drops red along the edge of orange and watches the magic of the mingle.
Nią paints veins with precision.
“I love painting…” Calliope sighs, “… you’re both so… quiet.”
Going with the flow is responding to cues from the universe.
When you go with the flow, you’re surfing life force.
It’s about wakeful trust and total collaboration with what’s showing up for you.
~Danielle LaPorte
Let us, then, be up and doing
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A note from LoveLetterist:
I've been thinking about this business of good/bad, right/wrong, positive/negative, light/shadow, yin... yang.
Where I sit today is... whatever falls into our laps is not as important as what we do with it.

I like the answer to “Why do you paint?” A few years ago Jackson Browne offered this exhortation in the lyric: “Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy!” So he wrote songs and played them.
Cal seems to be answering the “why do you paint” question by noting the quietness. Hard to argue with that!
Danielle LaPorte seems to have penned your job description! Longfellow’s “Learn to labor and to wait” conjures an image of a surfer waiting for good waves. 😉
