the beauty of repetition


while repetition can be tedious 
we all know that there is a time and place for it... 


it is in repeating an action (or thought) that it becomes familiar... 
in familiarity it becomes known... 


in being known it becomes understood... 
and once understood it can be refined... 




and all of a sudden, it feels almost effortless... 


a beautiful pay off for diligence... 


ommmmmm...

  3. MD- in art repetition is like creative meditation - it takes the brain into a quiet zone but a nice zone. Create well - good stuff you are producing. B

  5. Beautiful piece, I found your comments very inspiring though. Lately I have been bogged down in tedium I forgot to look at the larger purpose.

    Need that, thanks!

  6. You do know that you are celebrating a virtue that is largely unknown in our hurry-up-and-make-money-on-it culture. Repetition isn't boring when you approach each session newly, like it was the first time, finding the wonder in it. Works for jewelry and making love. I just want to rub that little Buddha's tummy! Erin is so right--dreamy, atmospheric photos-- wonderful!

  10. I love Christine's comment as well! My work is and has always been my meditation. It is such a good reminder for me to return the the simplicity of the moment when the work becomes something other than meditative.
