I teach Art at a school. I'm not full time but when I think about it, it seems pretty full, over full to me.
I teach mon-fri but not 9-5 more like 10-3,4,5,6,7...Depending on the day.
Recently we closed a week with a big Art Opening on Friday with
Kids, Parents, friends, teachers, etc attending for the fun event.
It was then over, the high fell and it was time to pack up and go home.
Relax? Next? not quite...but I remember what this feels like,
I used to mostly just work on Big Community projects and it was tons of prep work, then the event, then a big crash, relax time.
The difference with the school setting is that the crash time is more like prep for the next event, projects, ideas.
I'm hoping to find a way to balance this all out.
I suppose it's all about the waves of water, the in and the out, the low and the high...and when to know what will happen. I suppose once you find the rythum it all just flows like the water has done for years.
I suppose this new month of Pisces is a good time to think about water, waves and ripplies.
I mean I love the work but sometimes I wish I could just take that little break from planning projects and relax.
I've done a bit of that this past week when we had off from school. I hope to do more in the future.
This week involved-
-cross country skiing
-sleeping in late
-reading
-cooking
-Taking lots of baths in Water!
It also involved working and planning a bunch.
But I like that stuff.
But, I also know there 'is time and space for everything'
On, Sunday I had dinner at Olga's Aunt and Uncles and its amazing how good it feel to be in a different space and not have my computer, paper, books, projects to tempt me to get involved.
Sometimes it feels great to send e-cards, drink tea and wine, be overfed and watch the birds go by.
Wondering what 9-5 means any way? A job? It's it more like life?
