Stay with it...

I spent most of yesterday experimenting, but the results were NOT particularly satisfying.  I get that I'm supposed to be learning from my mistakes, but all I seem to be getting from this is that this is a rather unproductive road I'm going down: I can't quite seem to cross the bridge between where I am and where I want to go...

Funny, isn't it, how the creative life so often parallels regular everyday life!  But if I just assume that's true, then the lessons from one should carry over into the other.  Which means, I suspect, that I can't give up yet; can't walk away, must keep knocking at this door.  Something is here to be learned, and I just have to stay present with the struggle til I find out what it is.

Grr.  So much easier to cut and run; go back to what's safe...
