Practice Presence

A common question I am asked when a person comes to pose for me is “What is the idea today?”
With a big smile I reply, “we are not going to create using the thinking mind. Instead we will practice presence and play intuitively”. .
.
It may not make much sense in that moment but after we begin, everyone remembers what it felt like as a child to create when the intellect was more quiet.
.
My practice is to nurture this ambiance and utilize tools to shape and capture the journey we go on together.
