Life as Art

AsideJune 5, 2024January 20, 2025 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper7 Comments

This thing exists Good or bad Joyous or sad or fractious and intense Within a border Within a fence Whilst ever I can keep it there A frame I can reframe No matter what comes along Make it say love Instead of confusion Make it say love Instead of grief Place other things beside it […]

We are what we are. Creator vs Producer

AsideMay 21, 2024 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper12 Comments

Productivity Creativity Curly hair Straight What we have, we take for granted What we don’t We Wish We could do better at being *I wish I could spend money on sensible things, but blinds for my home are boring when compared with vintage cameras. I wish I could spend my time more wisely, sensibly, productively. […]

Breath of winter arrives

AsideMay 20, 2024 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper10 Comments

The warm air is breathed into the belly of the earth Sucked in In anticipation of dawn I feel the shift in temperature as I walk The moisture turns to frost A bird sings a poignant anthem And the sun rises Gently warming my shoulder My smiling cheek The camera buttons sleek beneath my frozen […]

Flying

AsideMarch 25, 2023February 17, 2024 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper5 Comments

The aril of my heart is thicker than I bargained Compromise is a thing that grows in the absence of faith Not everything is magic And running of a cliff and thinking I can fly would be silly But then how did the first pilot imagine he would ever become airborne? Revving and bumping down […]

Look up!

AsideFebruary 8, 2023February 7, 2023 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper12 Comments

When we are in thought we look down When thought is in us we look up Where do thoughts and ideas come from? Why don’t we act on them with alacrity? Is it that old humbug fear of scarcity? And if we do act upon them Does the universe, rejoicing in the fact it got […]

Meditation on consciousness, truth and poetry

AsideApril 25, 2022April 24, 2022 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper7 Comments

The interior of my being belongs to consciousness And consciousness is a shape shifter Sometimes it resembles a 5 year old And at others, a woman of 33 All of this belongs to me, and yet isn’t entirely mine to control It blends with memory and dreams of the future What has been And what […]

Herding Instincts – why we fear sticking out (or up) and how to get over ourselves (and why we really should)

AsideMarch 29, 2022March 28, 2022 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper15 Comments

If I paint by numbers I am assured of a certain picture The outline is the same as the image on the box and all I have to do is simply choose colours one by one Mechanically completing a version that someone else created And I can say I painted Well done! Faithfully following the […]

Curiosity Soothed the Cat

AsideJanuary 7, 2022January 6, 2022 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper14 Comments

We all wish we could nail down an outcome the way that we most prefer it would turn out. I don’t like surprises. I’m a planner by nature but life doesn’t care how uncomfortable a lack of predictability makes me. I wondered in yesterdays post, if perhaps this was what 2022 was teaching us. Don’t […]

Choosing powerfully

AsideNovember 13, 2021November 12, 2021 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper9 Comments

When Winifred Gallagher was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive cancer, she decided not to let the diagnosis, or the disease take over her life. Instead, Winifred began what would become a powerful practice. Focusing her attention on the good things she experienced throughout the day and tolerating – but not paying the cancer (and its […]

Organizing the Creative Mind

AsideOctober 22, 2020October 21, 2020 Kate@athousandbitsofpaper11 Comments

I often get asked how it is that I create so much. Firstly – I am (formerly was) the most disorganized person and the larger that my creative octopus has grown, the more I have realized that I have two internal enemies Disorganization and disorganization Creative folk don’t like routine – we like to do […]
