Find a pow­er­ful sound source in Nature. Sit with your back to it. Close your eyes and take it in.
Focus on the sound and let it fill you com­pletely. When you are ready release this vibra­tional
energy onto the paper. Rather than try­ing to fol­low the rhythm of the sound — look for your
own rhythm instead. Find your own ebb and tide, your own point of ces­sa­tion and rest,
your own gust of tremor and trem­bling power.

Some­time ago we went up to the Turchino Pass — a point between Ovada and Genoa where
Appe­nine moun­tains begin their descent into the sea. Often, espe­cially dur­ing the win­ter months
the pass is shrouded in deep thick fog. Here is the record of that cre­ative encounter.
The noise you hear is the pow­er­ful mis­tral wind blow­ing from the sea.

Find a stream, a river or another flow­ing body of water nearby. Spend some time focus­ing on
and draw­ing the cur­rent. Expe­ri­ence the flow fill­ing your eyes and aware­ness,
mov­ing eas­ily through your hand and pen­cil, spilling out onto the paper.
The goal of this encounter is to cre­ate a con­nec­tion with our own flow.
By focus­ing on the process instead of a result, we allow the cre­ative cur­rent
to move through us undeterred.
