I started picking out a word a couple of years after reading about this practice on other blogs...last year's word was "essence"...to delve more deeply into my art, both in terms of execution as well as intent...
As I began to ponder a word for this year, I knew that it would need to be broader than just thinking about art...the Southern Man and I have plans in the works that will influence every aspect of our lives here...so I thought my word might be "determine" or "decisive" or "resolve"...but the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't decide...which seemed rather ironic given my word choices!
And finally one day, it occurred to me...as I was working on a new collage...my word is "direction"
I need to have a direction to follow...a path/road/map as to what will unfold in the months ahead...
like the branches I collected from my yard after the weekend wind storm...
they generally point upward...but there are some branches that break off to the side...while others are tangled within, twisted together...
Everything does not need to align perfectly...but I need to have a sense of where I am going...so "direction" it is!
