Diving Rod task in Finding Water by Julia Cameron… write about yourself in the third person. Yoga and The Creative Source coming soon
She’s 58 years old and her birthday is in March. She lives on the first floor of a brick apartment building in St. Paul that was probably built in the 1920s. She likes art and has collected pieces that express her visions, her travels, and her life. Everything from a smiling Buddha, a painting of her sitting alone reading on the south shore of Lake Superior, to blue geometric circles, ferns, and ginkgo leaves. She once had an owl swoop down above her head while walking at dusk in a wooded suburban park. This experience has stayed with her. She likes to take walks after a newly fallen snowfall and sit underneath tall evergreen trees. She loves books and she hopes to write one someday. She wonders if someday will ever come. She’s had this desire for a long, long time. When she was 7 or 8 she was stung by a bee while riding her bike. She never thought that could happen. How could the two collide at that exact moment? That reminds her of how she met her ex-husband. The two of them at the same place, at the same time, wanting the same thing. They had gone to the same college, but never met there. Only to meet five years later. She wonders why some people have come and gone from her life. Why some have been given such short lives and others not recognizing how each moment is so important. She thinks that’s what led her to Buddhism. That, and suffering. She believes that everthing that has come before has led her to this moment, and she’s mostly thankful for all of those moments. She’s thankful that she gets to teach Yoga, meditation, and bring well-being to others. She has a cat named kitty. It’s her first and may be her only cat. She thought she was a dog person until Kitty came into her life. She once danced and sang “Jingle Bell Rock” on stage with Slim Dunlap from the Replacements. That was at the 400 bar in Minneapolis, which no longer exists. She also got up on stage at a comedy show in the village in New York City. Her childhood dream was to become an actress. She writes her Morning Pages to Chopin’s Nocturnes.
