Ten Tiny Changes
don’t seem like much
yet my passion for writing
seems covered in dust!
Ideas, opinions
float about in the air
but no meaning to them
if I just leave them there!
So what do I do
to renew that old flame?
Make ten tiny changes
again and again?
How boring is that?
Going over again
ground already stirred
but has settled again.
If I’ve learned nothing else
in these seventy years,
it’s that ten tiny changes
will prick up my ears.
Open my eyes, open my heart!
Those ten tiny changes
will keep me afloat whilst
ideas, opinions come back into range.
“I shut my eyes in order to see.”
~ Paul Gauguin
Ten Tiny Changes:
a recommendation from Week Two of Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron to recover identity and renew self-care. For me, self care involves writing, personal care and attention to my home.
