The Child Point day 1: facing the point

There is a window facing the intersection of a street here. In front of that a yoga mat and beside that my writing desk. Oh, and that broken curtain rod. Obviously the curtain rod is an issue.

Facing this point I see the interesting world out there, or I would if the curtain weren’t in the way. I have it rigged to open toward the middle instead of the sides like normal people do. When I made this curtain I was being lazy and keeping the fabric all in one piece but the rod is supported in the middle because this window is a wide one so I couldn’t push it to the side without splitting the fabric.

The child point is about experimentation, play, creative learning, things like that. So it is appropriate to have some whimsy over there. There are butterflies on the curtain. I have been considering replacing the curtains though, I’ve had these for 13 years now. But I am not getting a strong sense of what to replace them with.

It could be interesting to hang some thing in the middle that catches light like a prism or that evokes some natural and playful element. I have been called creative most of my life. I can’t get away from making things. It’s one of the ways I feel better about myself in times when I’d rather not deal with things. I’ve been thinking about business lately. I know there are creative elements to everything we do. I don’t know why artist fight doing business. What’s up with that stereotype?

I don’t have a lot of stuff coming up today. I might want to relabel this point for my practice though because not everyone has children so it can be weird to figure out what meaning of child we are working with. It is whatever it means to that person. So for me this point is really the creative play point out of this grows the business and other manifestations.

Yeah, the acton thing is fixing the brackets for this curtain rod. The next thing might be deciding what curtain might be better in this room. The current one is red and black mostly. We might try an earth tone? I might get some boring fabric and over die it crazy colors. Something to remind me that life is vibrant. I could then use the current curtain fabric to make red statement pants! 😂
