It is the weekly exercise in Wishcasting with my friends at Jamie Ridler Studios. I look forward to this event each Wednesday. Today was no different!
I read today's wish-prompt and thought... I am taking a break from what I wanted to take a break from: the theater. I have nothing coming up, my slate is clear, and I am able to settle into creating more of what I want to create as well as free space to be with and take care of my family. I could have stopped right there and marked my slate DONE! but that would be the non-weasel-y way out of responding to the question.
I am also on sabbatical with a friend whose behavior was the straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back this weekend.
She doesn't quite get it, which is another reason for the sabbatical itself!
I am taking a break, therefore, in a relationship that isn't working for me. For us.
I am going to see what my fellow wish-casters are saying to see if anything clunks me over the head with, "Wow, why didn't I think of that?"
Well, I never got to my compadres pages (yet) but I did get to my wish for myself...
I wish to take a break from the tyranny of the clock.
I am so tired of hearing myself say, "There isn't enough time," or "I don't have enough time" or any of that nonsense.
I want to get lost in time so I may expand each moment and simultaneously squeeze the juice from each one.
It reminds me of expand, breathe in deeply and exhale... even more deeply... and then open again... and again... and again.
I think if I look at both my theater sabbatical and my friendship sabbatical, both point in this same direction.
I wish to take a break from the tyranny of the clock. Summer is the perfect time for that... ahhh, yes.
This deepens my earlier response and brings my clarity that much more into focus.
I wish.....
