Chiromancy with my journals.
In my last post, I described the practice of asking a question, then picking a random journal off the shelf, and opening it up to any page and seeing if the Universe provided some special insight.
So let's give that another go, right here and now.
My area of interest I propose is: I would like insight into my work life.
So here is the random book I grabbed, looks like it is from 2003 - 13 years ago.
It is kind of a pretty book, with a beaded cover. I was so fancy back then!
and the dates are April 2003 - June 2003. So I guess I filled up that little book in just two months. I will note that this is back in the era where my writing was the focus of these journals. I had not yet fully realized the potential of collage to mine inner gems of the sub conscious, something I gradually morphed into doing in my journals.
and the words? I was complaining about renting a movie, being unable to make it play, calling my husband and not being able to reach him.
Then a gripe about my relationship to technology.
Well, not sure the point, I love and use technology in my work all the time.
In fact, I just spent most of the day designing and producing labels for my vervain calendula soap, which goes on sale today in my Etsy shop.
So what is this Chiromancy telling me?
That maybe, sometimes, it's just a random page, I guess.
"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things."
