DAY 17 (January 22nd, 2018)
You are a gift, my friend.
UNDESERVING
What am I but undeserving
and you a trove of delightful turns—
a guiding star—
for both veins of gold and sorrow
run deep into arterial darkness—
into this—my suffering heart.
The 100 Day Project is a creativity excavation. It’s about unearthing dormant or unrealized creativity by committing to a daily practice everyday for 100 days.
Creativity is a skill. The more we practice, the more skilled we become. Practice takes time. Practice takes commitment. Practice is a radical act in this speeded up world. Through practice, we develop a creative habit. Through habit, we reconnect with and know ourselves again as a creative being.
I started this, my third, 100 Day Project on January 6th. My project is to write at least one first-draft stanza inspired by a poem, a quote, an idea, a painting—anything really. I’ll post the results at www.bradseverance.com/category/100-day-project-number-three/
Enjoy!
