traveling

prompts + practices//work in process

good morning from vancouver, b.c.! 

we're traveling this week on spring break, so i'm off my normal writing routines. It can be hard to stay centered with our creative practices when we're on the go, but that's often when we need them the most. also, it can be tremendously inpsiring to immerse ourselves in new places--to bring an open mind free of expectations, ready to be surprised and awed. When we travel in this spirit, we call it Zen mind or beginner's mind. Everything we see and experience is fresh. When we come with expectations or wishes, we feel more rigid or resistant.
