It's Wishcraft Wednesday over at Jamie Ridler Studios. This week Jamie asks what we wish for our creativity. Oddly, I like to ask it to take a rest every now and then. I'd like to remember that although creativity is wonderful and I celebrate it, not every moment needs to be an energy out moment. There are times when it is enough to just "be."
Two days ago I bore witness as this beautiful butterfly died. It had a broken wing. I moved it to higher ground, out of direct sunlight and brought it some nectar like fluid. But, it died. And I was there. And I wasn't writing a poem, or painting a picture or capturing it in anyway. Even taking this photo seemed a violation. I was just there - in the moment. Though it was sad, it was sacred. Life is made of such moments and I'd like to remember to be there for them instead of always trying to create something out of them.

Wow, so true. Great post. As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you too.
Hearing and feeling your words. Sometimes I purposefully leave my camera or my notebook behind to do precisely this. Beautifully written and shared.

Kim,
This is really a beautiful story. Sad, yet stunning.
It's funny, sometimes i get so frustrated with what i call the digital age where people are never experiencing life but only documenting everything and clicking and tweeting and all that jazz. But we forget to remember the sacred. And i must say that you clearly honoured the sacred in your care with this beautiful creature.
Thank you for that is a true gift.
best,
Lisa
