Conversations with Calliope- The Gift of Time

  /* /*]]>*/ (Big Ben) JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. I thought you might take today off in honor or Memorial Day. JOE: No, I'm up early. CALLIOPE: What thoughts entertain you today? JOE: Who, not what. I read Julia Cameron's thoughts about time in her Vein of Gold. CALLIOPE:Tell me about it. JOE: She talked about the excuse most of us find from time to time not to create. “If I only had more time!” CALLIOPE: Sounds familiar. JOE: It is. I tend to wast time wishing I had more of it instead of using the small chunks which come available to create something even on a small scale. CALLIOPE: Where do you lose out the most. JOE: In visual art. I find time to read, write and photograph. Ten feet from where I sit wait my drawing and painting materials, gathering dust while I procrastinate. CALLIOPE: What do you plan to do about it. JOE: Redefine my time requirements. CALLIOPE: How? JOE: By using small chunks of it to create something even if it's only a beginning rather than a finished work. CALLIOPE: Go for it. JOE: I will. Wait for tomorrow's report.
