I
AM PAINT
by George Allen Durkee
I am paint. Some days the stuff just runs out of me. I get into an easy
rhythm when I paint daily.
But when I stop
for a week or more, I am clumsy.
The way beyond my awkwardness is through it. So I need to
be willing to paint a bad painting, or several, until the oils flow again.
I imagine it's the same for musicians, athletes and people who arrange
flowers.
If I need
a
particular outcome, I try too hard. Better when I simply allow the work
to unfold in the way it will, allow myself to be what I am in this
moment, or on this particular day. And I am paint.
