Sunrise, Sunset, Swiftly Flow the Days
A small update on life, love, and the practice of putting one foot in front of the other
Hello!
I have been feeling overwhelmed with stress and gratitude these past few months. I started a part-time job. Another round of boxing between me the art not-for-profit-industrial-complex. I am exhausted, but determined to step up for myself and have healthy boundaries and a healthy relationship to work, everyone and everything be damned.
I’ve been listening to some very wonderful music, paying attention to the lyrics and letting them wash over me, flavouring the way I walk to the skytrain, the way I put the pot on the stove, the way I fantasize to self-regulate. I cancelled a camping trip with a friend from high-school so that I could spend more time in the studio and because my peace is my lifeline. I miss my practice and long for it in the night more often than I long for my date, who is away in Taiwan visiting a friend for a few weeks.
I have been saying no a lot, and as hard as it is, my life overall is better for it. I highly recommend pushing or breathing through the discomfort.
There is a small sale happening at my studio on Saturday September 9th 12-4pm, and my pots will be there, but I will be at work. Come out if you want to touch my things without me knowing about it and buy a planter pot or a plate ;)
I hope you’re all well and feeling as peaceful about existing as is possible for you at this time in the cycle of things. I know that’s easier said than done, but the clock is ticking on all of us, and I think it’s worth trying to get there.
Ever to life,
Ada Dragomir
