Last week, I attend a workshop led by Nicholas Carbonaro. Basically we had papers and color pencil in our disposition, and we were suppose to on the paper what we were thinking, feeling or seeing. It was a sort of relaxing practice. I had to confess it; I had no idea whatsoever about what I was supposed to do or what I was doing. I first start drawing and writing whatever came in my head, then without even realizing my paper turn into a plan for all the task I had to do for school. I just realize that in a 1h period, I only put my mind away from school just for 10 -15 minutes.
We spend so much time walking back and forth between home and school that we do not even have the occasion to relax. When was the last time you got a time for yourself? When was the last time you had the occasion to sit and enjoy the nice weather? Is it that life?
