I often jump the gun.
My experience at this festival is a lesson in planting a seed, voicing an idea, and moving into it when the time is right. Here, I feel it is the right time and place to dive in to this project.
Within myself are seeds of creativity and confidence that I am nourishing during this journey. Today is day three of the SEEDS festival, and I already have several transformations to write about. While I am actively focusing on transforming my curiosities in to creative products, and insecurities in to confidence, and I also exercising much patience. No seed grows to full form and function in one day.
The theme of the festival this year is, coincidentally, Nourishment. Through awakening my mind and body to new perceptions of the space I occupy, and the body I function through, I have learned that nourishment exists in many forms. Our bodies are nourished by food, water, air, social interaction and solitude. Sounds, tones and textures all feed our body different messages and signals, and directions for how to grow.
In the workshop this morning, KJ Holmes mentioned the definition of the word 'nourishment.' It comes from the Greek word meaning to flow, or to drip. My view of water changed in that moment as I viewed water as nourishment.
I must stop writing for now in order to go meet friends for a trip to the stream. I finally have time to visit the water! More posts are soon to come, documenting my research, conversations and photos of this experience and research.
