On Drawing a Blank: When Nothing Else Will Do

So I pulled out my art stuff and began to draw.  It was a blank.  I was drawing a blank and there was nothing there.  Nothing.  Get it?  Sometimes we can have the best intentions.  We have inspiration and we have energy, but still, we end up drawing a blank.

Okay, I know this a bit of a bust of a blog.  Well, maybe not.  Maybe realizing that even though you  can put pen to paper or brush to canvas or even finger to trigger, there really is nothing coming of it.  Blank.  The whole thing is just one big blank.

When you draw a blank, that is the time to hang out the "This Space Available" sign.  An open house might be in order.  Maybe even assume the lotus position and chant Ommmm.  Just close your eyes and wait for a sign.  Better yet, just begin to draw.   Or in a case like this one, write.  Write whatever comes to mind and sooner or later the blankness will disappear and life will make sense again.

See, it's already happening.  Anyone can draw a blank.  It doesn't take much.  The important thing is to move through it and onto the next drawing.  I do it all the time.  So can you.  Never be afraid of the blank page.  Just fill it and you might be surprised what embracing the blank will reveal.
