Today’s a busy day…in fact it’s going to be a busy weekend. I’m co-facilitating a new workshop with a friend of mine we’re calling Death Rehearsal: A Playfully Reverent Exploration and Artful Preparation For the Final Curtain Call where we will be using creativity to explore our feelings about death and dying. I know it sounds like it could be morbid, but it’s really not. First of all, we’re planning some really COOL creative exercises, including painting a cardboard casket together as a group. And we’ll be writing and dancing and making music. And we actually anticipate laughing quite a bit.

And even though I also think it’s going to be pretty intense I am hoping that I will get some sense of that spiritual truth that knowing we are going to die, someday, and facing that knowing head on can actually allow me to be more fully alive now. I’ll let you know how it goes.

So a lot of my creative energy is going into creating the workshop. And I’m also planning on taking some photos of the art projects I’ll be making during the workshop. Which of course I can post here as my creative every day commitment.

In the meantime, I was able to take a few minutes and make this little sunburst doodle sketch.Which is a pretty cheery little thing considering I’m going to be spending the weekend hanging out with the Grim Reaper!!
