I am blessed to have a Creative Support Partnership in my life. Indeed, I have more than one of these at the moment.
In case you haven’t noticed, I highly recommend seeking all kinds of support and nourishment for your creative process, from Creativity Coaching to informal arrangements with peers and friends.
A little encouragement goes a long way.
I ready myself for a phone conversation of mutual exchange with my Creative Partner, about our various creative projects, dreams, doubts and practical steps.

I talk with my Creative Partner. We read our writings to each other.
I listen.
I doodle with watercolour and felt pen. Ganesh – the Indian God of Good Fortune and Remover of Obstacles, emerges in our chat.
I doodle.
I play half-consciously with the materials at hand while I listen deeply.
Oh My Ganesh! Wings have morphed into elephant ears.
Maybe flying helps you listen.
Or maybe listening helps you fly.
