Entering the New Year with I Am’s and I Release’s

Recycled an old composition book I found in my paper box. Covered it with an old water-colour drawing created earlier this year when the first Covid lockdown made me eager to read Watership Down for some reason.

 

 

I RELEASE:

• My saudade
• My fears
• The fear that I will lose control over my project if I collaborate
• Attachment to the past
• The need to NOT forget all the details of my life
• Trivial relationships
• Trauma
• The need to please

I AM:

• Present
• Protected
• Limitless
• Achieving my full potential
• Wealthy
• Complete
• Honest
• Serene
• A writer
• Powerful
• Beautiful
• Alive!
