You have no doubt seen bits and pieces of this group of "littles" or "smallies" on and off from time to time as it proceeded along.
It took me 3 months to do this page.
It is my ninth completed page...I've started these on Jan 21, 2019.
9 pages in 16 months. There's no rhyme or reason why some months I jotted down a square almost every day...and this time, it was 3 months to finish one page.
But the slower pace this time is for all the reasons you probably could think of yourself: a loss of the sense of time as reality, lethargy toward creative process, a feeling of purposelessness, anxiety about the future, loss of personal connections, and being overwhelmed with the huge events affecting all our lives.
Speaking of which...This morning's NY Times briefing had an amazing list of the things that the authors felt worth listing that have happened since January 1...the first 6 months of 2020.
And we haven't gotten to the election yet.
The list helped me to get some perspective on why I feel overwhelmed in so many ways. And why our country and the world is reeling from one event after another.
As the title implies...life does go on. Balancing it is difficult but we have no choice.
