Birthing An Idea

I’ve been working on a project for a while now that seems really complex and hard to get my mind around. It’s a creative project, so I’ve been gathering references and gestating on their meaning for a long time. I’m trying to make something new - or maybe a new interpretation of something old.

Now I’m spending my time (days, nights, dreams…) trying to coax that “new” something into a physical existence. And, it’s a uncomfortable. Like really painful! I feel like my mind is trying to bring together something cosmically huge and push it through my tiny little brain out into the “real” world. how could it possibly fit through there?

So far, it’s not quite as painful as actually giving birth to a human, but it does remind me of that process; scary, messy, and also kind of lovely.

Heaven help me!
