Exploring my emotional landscape

Hello all! I hope you are enjoying your Christmas preparations as much as I am. It's truly been a joy to prepare gifts for my loved ones this year.

Moving into this vocation will affect how I handle the wide array of emotions I experience. When I feel huge surges of emotion, I usually talk to friends or exercise to disperse this energy, but now I can feel myself turning inward and focusing...imagine a cluster of rambunctious particles that begin to condense into a laser (my apologies to the true physicists in the crowd).

I still think that exercise, the physical movement, will be a huge component of my process because I need that time to coalesce my energy. But now, I'm creating a space for that energy, giving it direction.

In my "free playing" on my keyboard tonight, that looked like a movement from my home key of D minor to the key of F major and the Bb major, keys I usually don't explore in this improvisational space.

I'm still terrifically impatient with the fact that I don't really have work space set-up (for example, the key screws for my keyboard stand are MIA and it's currently sitting on my desk, which is supposed to be writing space). It's ok. Now is a time for reflection and celebration, so I will celebrate that slowly but surely, I'm creating new patterns conducive to a creative lifestyle.

It's all good news. :)

In celebration!
