Marching (Ambling?)Toward my Dream

I have arrived at the point in my Bead Dreams process where the meditation is nearly over and the magic must begin.  I generally create parts, and then engineer a whole.  The parts assembly is meditative and pleasant.  I can do some of it (once I have finished with making samples and know what to make) while relaxing on the couch.

But this moment between the methodical assembly and the aesthetic decisions and engineering is sometimes daunting.  It is the part where time to think and evaluate is most beneficial.

I'd like to show you, but I just can't.

For me, if I have a conflict with someone else, I am most successful if I work it out with them and them alone.  Anytime I try to tell another person my troubles, a kind of dishonesty begins.  And I find that not only do I needlessly burden a friend, I also cripple my floundering relationship.  For me, this is the perfect analogy.

Making a big piece is like resolving a conflict.  And in order to be honest with it, I have to work it out with the components, and my own heart and hands.

So yet another image free post.  but I look forward to being able to share!

Are you at work on a Dream?
