Reclaim Sundays as a day of reflection, insight and just a little laziness.
Learn to slow down, let go, experiment and play a little and just watch your creativity unfold!

Being creative isn’t all about making stuff and being good at it!
It’s way of seeing, feeling, listening, investigating and understanding the world.
Here follows 50 suggestions, exercises and projects to help you for a few hours once a week, unravel that ball of wool in your head you call ‘busy’, 'must' and ‘deadline’ and crochet it into that quirky Sunday jumper you may well love enough to want to wear on a weekday.

This is a personal account, with ideas and suggestions along the way of how to 'let go' of that critical bit of the brain and just see where it takes you. 

“Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.”
Alan Watts (Thinker and Interpreter of Zen Buddhism, 1915-1973)

“We should be mucking about all the time, because mucking about is enjoying life for its own sake, now, and not in preperation for an imaginary future. It's obvious that the mirth filled man, the cheerful soul, the childish adult is the one who has least to fear from life.”
Tom Hodgkinson (Author -The freedom manifesto)

“Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week”
Joseph Addison (English essayist, poet and Statesman 1672 -1719)

24 - drawing music

Music has a way of freeing emotions with its rhythms, vibrations, and beats. 
Dim the lights right down, put on a piece of music that you know moves you in a particular way.

Just listen for a while and then when you feel ready, without looking down, let your response to the music move down your hand and into the pen through to the blankness of the paper. 

Hold the pen loosely and let it move as around as it wants to. Move with the pace, tempo and style of the music and don't be tempted to make your scribble 'into' anything.
Take on the idea that you're a witness of what your hand is doing rather than its controller.

Open to the idea of not drawing to music, rather drawing the music itself. It doesn't matter what the end result is on your paper, don't think about it in fact don't look down.
 Not trying to make any forms or shape, just responding and following the pace, tempo and pitch.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. 

Plato
