Week 3 - Power
A doodle inspired by one the floors I saw in an artist's studio. Painter IX.
In the Artist's Way to reclaim one's power one has to accept one's anger and shame. This is the dark side of self that gets exposure during the week. Anger's energy is used to make a map of what we really want to do. I've found this very useful whenever I've remembered to apply it. This is what I do.
I get all STEAMED up about something or someone.
Then I remember that if I'm annoyed or irritated or any of those anger type words this is a useful signal.
And I say thank you to myself for it.
And then I work out what its about.
Some are easier than others. For instance if I'm looking at a picture and thinking "I could do better than that!" then that's exactly what I want to do.
Others are harder. For instance being angry with someone because of something they have done which I really don't do and don't want to do, say smoking... in that case the message for me isn't so direct but there are always habits that aren't beneficial that have crept in and guess what this is also the week in the artist's way when some of them get highlighted!
On the lighter side its the week where we really get going with synchronicities, not just as an interesting phenomenon, but actually getting what you need in answer to specific requests sent out to the universe. At first I used to rationalise this as a way that at least I'd got my head sorted so that when an opportunity came along I'd recognise it - and that is a very good way to start. But it gets harder to rationalise away... and the thing to do is to say thank you and accept what comes your way. These days I do a lot of asking.

Maybe we all need to ask more questions than obtain more answers. When we stop asking we stop living. Anyway, this looks like lots of fun. Also, nice job with the art. It's amazing how expressive you can get on the computer these days.
why does it assume you have an ''ex''? I suppose most of us have exes but hopefully they're as relevant today as knee length socks!
you're wearing a house!
Steve - questions keeping us open rather than closed - yes I'd agree with that. And on the computer - it helps a lot to have a decent tablet.
Ian - I wondered that too... and I wasn't sure which ex to go for either! But what's wrong with knee length socks - I like them! But then as you pointed out I wear my house...
