Prompt Seven - ISR for Cath

creating space

I found myself feeling jealous the other day when a client drew a birds eye view map - it was such a captivating image.  I wished that I could do something so beautiful as their drawing.  There are other clients drawing maps too, whats that about?
I brought home the same materials and created some space for my own map making, because I recognise burnout when I see it, and I recognise the glaring lack of my own creative process when I find myself invading my clients' space.
And this space created more space because in my map making I realised that the most awful bit is just a bit, creating space created more space - a veritable hall of mirrors of space.  If that awful bit is not all of it then there is more of me than I thought - I am free, or at very least a whole lot freer than I was some hours ago!
I have a curiosity about my clients maps that was absent some hours ago.

Prompt 7 - Creating Space

Creating space
It takes time
to create...
to find space
to create...

to locate a place
to create..
locate the mind space
in order to create

when the space is created
it is time...
to breath
to move
to feel
to reflect
to journey
to discover my inner space

Sharing my thoughts on prompt seven...

I spent quite some time considering what prompt to post this time around. I had been hoping for suggestions, but none came, and whilst I had a few tucked away in a bowl back home, I was interstate and could not recall any of them. And so, given that I had said I would post prompt seven by yesterday, I chose 'creating space'.

I realised it was a little vague, but I also knew there was opportunity for participants to choose their own direction, which is a good thing, right? Exactly as it should be. And then this morning, I woke to the niggling thought that it was all wrong. That I wanted to change it, that I needed to be clearer. Or maybe change it altogether. What was I thinking?

I have been thinking about it all day... to change, or not to change? Do I add more to the post so as to give it more clarity? Or do I just leave it be and see what emerges? Do I sit with my own doubt and just let it go?

And then it comes to me... by leaving the prompt unchanged, by leaving it open and somewhat vague, I am 'creating space'. Space for you to interpret the prompt as you wish, and for you to create a response as you wish.

So what does the prompt 'creating space' mean to you? I am interested and curious to see what emerges. As always I look forward to seeing your responses.

Warm regards, Jacinta.

Creating Space

Prompt Six - ISR for Janice

 I wait patiently for spirit to move me with the right action, the right timing and the flow of colour.
I let go of attachments, words, expectations and what I think, know or believe. I know not.
I am spirit. I am creativity. I am consciousness. I am in this moment here and now. I am love.

Prompt 5 - Who am I

This was a series that was originally a short video with sound but the file was too large.  I have now posted up the elements
Who am I, developing, but unfinished.  The process of growing involves time but also a need to reflect, review and revitalize when the going gets tough.  Enthusiasm can die off along the way, but progress can be made when one takes time to allow the process and dying off to happen so that one can return to the journey stronger and continue finding one's way

New life begins with added strength on the back of past experience

WHO AM I.

I wrote a journal entry responding to this prompt. Then selected collage materials predominantly limited to those Jacinta supplied. The materials led my process and informed the emergent meaning...slowly unfolding within the text i am reminded of an old knowing about who i am...in a process of becoming, never ending, always expanding and not fixed.

The above is the 'I Poem' from my written response to the prompt in my journal.
