I was a professional fine artist for many years, and when I was painting, the times it looked like I was doing nothing was when most of the work was being done. The biggest part was sitting back and casually observing the canvas at various points. Not trying to figure anything out but allowing the next step to show itself to me. Applying the paint to the canvas was secondary, albeit the observable part of the work.
I learned a lot about life by painting; life is like a big canvas. The process of living an inspired life is very similar to the painting process, and it involves a lot of time doing what looks like nothing to allow room for inspiration to enter. If I’m too busy all the time, I start to feel like a flower badly in need of watering.
It took a long time for me to stop caring that others might not understand this and to give myself permission to do nothing. Consider this your permission slip. Doing nothing isn’t being lazy; it’s a stepping aside and resting to allow inspiration to enter.
