Thursday Thoughts...

"Art is magic which makes the hours melt away and even days dissolve into seconds". 

Leonora Harrington

I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. It describes so well the ability of the creative process, the art-making process, to take you away from real time and have time become something completely different.

Melting and dissolving are two great verbs to describe what seems to happen when you fall into the zone and the actions and thoughts about creating and making take over. Time flies, it disappears.

You lift your head and realise the sky has darkened outside whilst you have been away in another land; you lift your head and discover that its only 10 minutes till dinner time and you haven't cleaned up let alone thought about dinner plans; you lift your head and realise you haven't eaten.

Time melts and dissolves; an experience which fills you up and nourishes you.

    1. Its one of those things that I am not sure science can fully explain - how time takes such a different form and provides such a different experience when we read...
