Mine are more sustainable now that I am not teaching. We have had the long habit of getting up between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning in order to do our creative work. I sometimes get up later now that I don't have to head into an office at noon. You know, when I read your blog posts, I always think the same about you. How do you do so much in one day? I don't last long after 10 in the evening. I used to have to stay up later to grade papers or to make time to paint. I don't do that any more.

When reading and analyzing 14th and 17th Century British poets, I used to use the Oxford English Dictionary to explore the meanings of words throughout time to allow myself to broaden the meaning of a poem. Thanks for getting me more about the meaning of important words and their origin.Ruth Schowalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106140875246572230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-62527547329712727972014-04-03T15:33:53.575-04:002014-04-03T15:33:53.575-04:00Carol, I always appreciate your honesty when you l...Carol, I always appreciate your honesty when you leave a comment on my blog. You have the ability to reach deep down and see how what I write resonates with you. Thank you. I would love to talk with you more about your "yearning" for establishing rituals for yourself.<br />Ruth Schowalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106140875246572230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-85210638620255608372014-04-03T11:04:34.386-04:002014-04-03T11:04:34.386-04:00Since I don't have any particular ritual each ...Since I don't have any particular ritual each morning I am fascinated when reading about other's. I guess my morning ritual is coffee and the crossword puzzle...I read about all you do what with exercising with Callahan, dancing with Christine and attending functions with Tony and I am amazed how much you fit into a day and still have time to create wonderful art. So now my question is...what time do you get up and what time do you retire...I used to be a morning person getting up as early as 4 to fit my day in as I wanted but of late I find myself sleeping in more and more..I need to change that...Thank you for sharing your routine with us. I enjoyed reading your blog each time you post...<br />Darlene Sperberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842207296309478132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-53766132957349846482014-04-03T10:18:48.069-04:002014-04-03T10:18:48.069-04:00From manus and infest

I can appreciate how each element of your ritual beckons your creative spirit and muse forth each morning in a deep reflection of your soul. I love your altar shrine as a place to focus your gratitude. I think this element of introspection and reflection into my art is something I'm yearning for. I have process but lack ritual elements. Perhaps this is the missing piece I keep seeking and missing. Carol Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810737504943090817noreply@blogger.com
