July 12, 2023•193 words
today i lie down to do midjourney blends
a question comes into my head
am i playing ??
is what im doing less classified by work than by play
am i obligated ??
am i free to make mistakes ??
am i willing to try silly things ?? am i willing to break the rules while playing ?? am i willing to try something new ?? am i willing to try something scary ??
is my ego unattached to my work ?? do their values vary independently ??
am i willing to throw away my product without showing anyone ?? do i feel free to share even if my product is less than my best ??
am i both focused and distractable ?? both obsessive and attention deficit ??
am i willing to step back (see what im doing) examine my expectations and release myself from them ??
is my body nimble ?? is every movement slightly a stretch ??
is this what i really want to be doing right now ??
(depending on how i answered those questions) i might be playing !!
and (today) playing is what i want to do
