Creativity. Inspiration. Genius. A mysterious gift possessed by only a select few. We admire the ability of artists to conjure up masterpieces seemingly effortlessly. Swipe of a brush, stroke of a key, and breathtaking art has been made. But deep down you know. If you're here, you know that creativity is not some exclusive club, it's an innate part of our human experience. I create, therefore I am.
So beautifully written Sky, my thoughts too have been centered on mindfulness when knitting. I've been listening to audiobooks/podcasts when knitting. I recognised I'm not being present with my knitting because my attention is spilit. I've recognized it's also about the desire to "stop thoughts" which I know through my meditation practice is not a wise thing to do. So I'm exploring practicing mindfulness by ditching the extra activities and creating each stitch and being fully present with my knitting.
