Answering the Question: "Who Are You?"

In a book I am reading, one artist is asked the question, "Who Are You? She wrote a poem to describe herself. I loved the idea of using symbolism to answer. Mine is below.

Who Am I?

I am cozy warm blankets
that all creatives bundle up in.
Sunrises and singing,
calm dark with sleeping. 

I am lightening bugs flashing
quietly in the forest.
And bridges, the ones connecting cities.

Ask me tomorrow and
growth will change the picture
because, who I am
is like the dawn.

Covid19 Routine

Life is so different right now. Sometimes I pause and am amazed. Like many of us, I have struggled hard for a routine during this Covid19 pandemic. The day speeds away from me and easily run together. So for my mental health I purchased a book to help me calm down at night and focus my creativity.

The first challenge was to document my day. Often we try to set up "perfect shots" but I just let them be. As I am feeling the chaos of the times, well, the chaos of my photos make sense. I took mostly morning shots and decided to only do black and white images.

Do you have creative projects during this time to settle yourself? If not, no worries! Do not add more stress right now if that's what a creative project would bring your spirit. But, if you are looking for simple ideas, then I'll be sharing my experiences from the book above.
