A Word About Fear

AAHHHHHH!

There's something I REALLY need to face.

I started a one woman piece, oh, like 2 years ago. And never finished it. It got a little too hot in the kitchen, a lot of personal stuff started to come up and looking back now, well, I ran. I do that a lot - its the Aries trait to start and not finish and I'm highly aware of it, to the point that it frustrates me.

There's a book that has become my Bible - "The War of Art." And it says that "the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it. So if you are paralyzed with fear, its a good sign. It shows you what you have to do."

So I'm beginning to listen to this and face my fears.

I'm terrified. And kind of excited too. So I just emailed a guy I know who teaches a class in which you create your own solo piece. A good step toward facing my fear. Seeing a couple of solo pieces this past Friday night was the big slap on the head. Like, oh yeah, THAT.

I am not a WUSS. So, here I go. Say a prayer for me, please.....!! :)
